Not sure if this is aimed at what I wrote. But I mentioned the situation with the economy because if you can afford to train now, i.e. hold off looking for work now, your probably going to be better off doing that. If you need to work now to pay the bills then that's a different thing. But there is no guarantee you may find work at the end of training whether that is due to the economy or otherwise.
If your looking at a guarantee of a job at the end of training there's better areas to get into - some areas of employment were very, very, very short of people so as long as you had a degree in a relevant area it didn't matter what grade. I say were as right now who knows what's going to happen.
You need to work on your design skills, there's nothing wrong with that everyone has to start out somewhere. I'm sure you can see the difference between say Nike, Apple, McDonald's, etc and your logos. You don't get there overnight it takes practice.
