What are the odds of getting a job in graphic design without a degree in graphic design, fine arts or applied arts?

Is it really possible to get a job in graphic design if you have a degree in pharmacy or other unrelated field but have the passion and willingness to do it?

Folk art & applied arts of your culture/religion

Please share your world’s most interesting folk art/applied arts!

It can be anything, from traditional clothes, embroidery styles, earthenware and ceramics, leatherwork, woodworking, smithing, even song&dance… And, please, especially share their origin or purpose within its culture!

For example, in my religious/cultural setting, food made in specific shapes is of great significance. One of the most important is butter and cheese moulds to shape them into figurines of different objects, people or animals. It is also popular to have baking pans and even pitchers made of blown glass that are shaped like faces etc. so that the food will adapt its likeness, like a portrait. This practice of making food in resemblance to living things is to, for one, honour the animal or plant it came from (for example making a cow out of a clump of butter), and also a callback to the folk tale that the progenitor saint of my world shaped humans out of bread, adding sourdough as the soul. (which also results in sourdough bread having much more significance to the culture in contrast to unleavened bread, which is like dead matter to them and it is forbidden/black magic to shape it in human form.)

Or, another: for traditional wear, especially skirts or dresses, the culture produces a textile that is incredibly resistant to fraying. from it, they cut pictures, akin to the German/european Scherenschnitte or paper-doll chains, depicting symbolic scenarios from legends and fairy tales, and attach them along the hem of their garment.

Summing up, depicting the likeness of people and animals is very important to my culture for various reasons.
What about yours?
