LOL But to answer your questions, there are quite a few courses you need to take. I don't know if universities offer web design degrees, but I'm pretty sure community colleges do. You need to know HTML, CSS, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash, etc. A warning though. Web design is a hot field, but at the same time it's very competitive, and it's over saturated. In addition, web design is a job that can easily be outsourced, many are! I've been into web design myself, I don't have any diplomas for it, but just self-taught. I might major in business, I'm worried about the web design industry and its stability. At least in the USA.<br><b>References : </b><br> Are you by any chance Canadian? LOL

Anything less, and you risk being stuck in a low level, low pay job. San Jose State has a good program for the latter.<br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.engr.sjsu.edu/avtech/CurrentDegreeProgs/bsit_ect.htm Your best strategy is to get a flexible 4yr degree in Computer Engineering Technology, or alternately "Computer Technology".
