made: SHREK!

Seventeen and strung out on confusion
Trapped inside a roll of disillusion
I found out what it takes to be a man
Now mom and dad will never understand

Secrets collecting dust but never forget
Skeltons come to life in my closet
I found out what it takes to be a man
Now mom and dad will never understand
What's happening to me

Seventeen and coming clean for the first time
I finally figured out myself for the first time
I found out what it takes to be a man
Now mom and dad will never understand
What's happened to me

*raises hand*

*looks around*

*puts hand down slowly*

dude i am already the cheapest drunk in the world. (whoohooooo!)

school for the following reasons, my personal take on this thereby reflecting my reasoning in the choices i've made *throws a look at alex* because not all of us are rocket scientist material and or have the drive to do it on our own... even though i technically am self taught, school is tweaking a lot of my previous knowledge...

school is good for:
motivation: yes
competition: no
inspiration: no
technical knowledge: minimal
applied knowledge: too much
incentive: portfolio
drive: kick everyone elses asses and make them go wow
networking: there are better places for that... the end result is that its all about who you know.

what happens when you mix antibiotics and alcohol?

i know computer technicians who never went to school to be computer technicians either - the common thread is that these people are still making under 40 an hour. which in my opinion, i wouldnt settle for. even as a freelancer.

but it depends on the individual i guess.

imo, as i said before relating to design school and technical college and whatnot: no one can teach you something thats inherent in some people naturally.

and 2advanced, granted its a classic site, is not created or maintained by one individual. so more power to ya if you can do something like that on your own, id bow down if i saw it.

thats all :)

ruined: the website I CANNOT DO.
ruined: FUCK.
ruined: having to admit defeat
ruined: still fucking sick

back off nadine is mine.

the assumption is that like any other art form the ability to design can't be taught, they'll teach you the apps like neoform says, but you have to rely on yourself to develop an eye for what looks good and what doesn't.

for someone who doesnt have the drive to sit down and learn independantly all the time, my school's treating me right. but you can't expect to walk out of technical college like IAD or Lasalle or Interdec or whatever and expect to get a high paying job.

Get a dec in cegep from somewhere like Dawson in their multimedia program, then go to U of M for their design course. They are by far the best at university level for multimedia development. And jesuschrist does it make me want to speak french better.

As a side note, Concordia has a couple of design-oriented courses but they're more theoretical than practical. Check out Digital Imaging and Sound or Design Art if you're interested.

Regardless of what you choose, be prepared to shell out a fuckload of money and sacrifice your social life for your computer.
