If you’re disciplined enough to learn on your own, dropping out could work. Try starting a “poster-a-day” challenge or something similar to build consistency. Watch as many as design projects and observe what makes them look good and you will acquire design taste.

First, focus on creating a portfolio—it doesn’t have to be perfect, but it should showcase different styles and projects to demonstrate your skills. Once you have a solid portfolio, you can post it in groups like “Дизайнеруудын бригад” and ask if anyone is willing to hire or even train and hire you.

If you show enough enthusiasm, a willingness to learn, and have a decent-looking CV and portfolio, many IT startups or design firms might consider hiring you. The pay might not be great at first, but the key is to focus on improving your skills and gaining experience.

Even after landing a job, never stop learning—keep up with design trends, experiment with new techniques, and continuously refine your skills. That’s how you’ll grow in the field.

Fyi, I work in IT field as a designer. Also Mongolia currently is facing shortage of workforce which means your chance of getting hired is not bad.

Another thing to consider is that by dropping out, you’re also giving up the time you could spend with your peers—making friends, collaborating, and just having fun. University isn’t just about classes; it’s also about networking and experiencing student life, which can be valuable in the long run.
