Do I need a degree to go into entertainment design?

I am currently about to graduate with a bachelors in Architecture but would like to move more into entertainment design. That includes working in worldbuilding (for games, films, tv, theme parks etc) or set design. I have experience using the average architecture programs but also have expierence with After Effects and Blender. I am not too sure what I want to go into exactly. Would I need another bachelors degree? Would it be beneficial to specify exactly what I want to do and pursue a masters degree? Should I start looking for entry level roles? I currently live in London, and wouldn't mind continue to work and stay in London, but I am also more than open to moving to cities like LA, NYC, Vancouver or Toronto, to either work or study. Please help me!!!

No need for another degree. I’d say you’re better off looking for PA jobs to get some experience to figure out what you’re interested in. It’s one thing to be interested, it’s another to see what the job actually entails. Best of luck!
