Do you people even study?

People usually think that there is not much to learn in the field of design. But as a matter of fact a design student works five times more than any other person pursuing any course. Design students might not have to read a lot of books but they need to find out their way without books. Designing is not about cramming, you just can't do it. Nothing is wrong and nothing is absolutely right. Its more about perception. Common people who are not from design background cannot think like that or even understand the previous line. Design students do not read and learn, they usually experience, experiment and learn. I do not deny the fact that the students from other study backgrounds have to study a lot but i'd say reading and learning is easier than challenging the existing things and designing a whole new thing. what do you say?
