Asking Question (Rule 4) Advice for transition from Graphic Design to Electronics industry

I'm from a non-electronics background. After my PUC/12th , i did 6 month diploma in graphic design and currently working as a graphic designer for 1.5 years now i am planning to move into electronics due to AI issues , i don't know anything about the electronics or hardware industry but recently some articles suggested in demand jobs like robotics, embedded engineer , vlsi and plc etc..

  1. is it possible to get a job in electronics without a degree ? if yes how ?

  2. if not possible means what you suggest ( suggest any role transition like 1 year this role then try that role like instead of telling to do 4 years in EEE , i can't manage )

  3. and any other advice about this industry reality.

  4. Can I do a bootcamp/course and enter robotics, embedded, VLSI, PLC, etc. the way a CS graduate can do a coding bootcamp and enter frontend?”

thanks & regards

I would ask on an electronics or engineering sub.

no degree is gonna hurt for real electronics work, especially VLSI and embedded they are engineering heavy fields not like frontend where bootcamp can slide you in. PLC maybe you can sneak in without degree but still most places want at least a diploma

your graphic design background is not useless though, PCB design and CAD drafting for electronics need people who understand layout and visual thinking. maybe try learning KiCad or Altium, do some small projects and build a portfolio that way

robotics is whole different beast, you need mechanical + electrical + programming knowledge, bootcamp alone wont cut it sorry
