I'm halfway through college, and I want to take a year off to go outside for an internship or study experience. what do you think?
I think you should think it over. After all, it is not easy to get into college. Internship experience is certainly a valuable asset for your future work, but it is difficult to rush out of this society without a diploma. Even if you can, you have to pay a higher price. I suggest that you finish your college studies and practice in some design companies during the winter and summer vacations.
