  • Should I Ditch My Corporate Degree for Freelance Design? With CzarCreates
    Aug 5 2024

    In this episode of Brand Your Brain, we discuss the struggle of choosing a career path. Joined by Czarcee of CzarCreates, who balances a law degree with freelance design, we address this anonymous confession:

    "ive always been creative and I want to pursue design but I feel like I can’t. I’m studying psychology and I’ve been doing it for a few years. I’m worried that I can’t do both or will disappoint people if I try to build a creative career instead of following through with my plan to get a degree. I think you mentioned studied psychology so any feedback helps"
