Can an engineer become a movie set designer? And the thing is not only becoming a movie set designer , money wise can an engineer earn heavily in set designing because leaving engineering field and entering into this field is quite risky. So plz guide me , should I take this risk or not

Hello, I am an architecture student currently in my 4th year and I got introduced to production design just recently. Are there any online courses available for this course? or are there any jobs available for me as an intern so that I can have a brief idea of how and what is expected from an individual in this filed? It will also help me to decide if I want to do this after graduation
