I have just graduated with a first class degree in computer science, I have good programming skills due to being able to adapt and learn required things very easily and quickly. but what I have realised is that programming makes me un-happy. I just don't enjoy it anymore.

I enjoy playing around with photoshop and love colourful beautiful things. I have the determination to work very hardest to learn graphic design from online courses on Udemy, Pluralsight and Lynda.com and build a nice portfolio.

But what I'm worried about it that employers will not take me seriously. I'm worried they will see that I have not got a degree in Graphic design and put me in the no pile without looking at my portfolio.
