I hope members of the forum can give me some candid advice as to how to proceed with making a career change into web design. I've used some of the more common programs and like Xara, but I don't believe it's realistic to think that's all I need. My questions are regarding what types of training, if any did you receive, was it on the job, military, online, etc. Do most of you work for a company or remote. I've asked a couple of admissions types at a couple of colleges and they will only tell you what you want to hear, not the straight story.

Any advice is helpful and is appreciated in advance.
