Who Needs School?

Now im sure we have all noticed that 90% of the people on most game related forums, or image design forums, or any kind of computer related forums, are very talented graphic designers. Not only graphic designers, but game designers, modelers, sound designers, etc etc. Most age from 13-25. Now im not saying thats everyone, but a good majority are younger then others. Most of these people have more talent just learning things in adobe, or flash, or 3ds max then people who spend so much time and money at school. And I my self just wanted to congradulate those people on the great art work they have shown, the creativity, and accomplishments. Learning photoshop. or any other computer related software isnt just "Open a program, click the mouse a few times and its done" like most people who have no knowledge would think. So once again, good work everyone, and this goes to anyone on any forum (not like this even matters to anyone, im just one person). To everyone, Keep up the good work

 

Thanks.

 

i feel the exact same way...
i love graphics
im good with photoshop... im going to learn flash soon...
but its so stupid... u need a college degree to get any good job...
i f---ing hate school and going there... my only motivation to go there is my love for girls...

 

Thanks bro

 

i have similar feelings it annoys me how everything needs a degree they should give you an actuall test there to see if your good enough that my opinion any wayz

 

yea power to the ps users!

 

Obviously you need school, you can't spell congratulate.

 

Garet psot terhe.

 

thx buddy, you probably were excluding me (cause i stink)

nah, glad to see people really apprieciate the art and work put into these sigs / wallpapers..

I'll make you a free sig if you want

 

I taught myself everything about computers and never learned anything about them at school.

 

Ha, obviously so do you, for spelling it wrong the first time, and then having to correct it :-D. No need for you to hate though, i was simply letting everyone know that there are people out and about who appreciate good work. if you cant respect that, then buzz off

 

You need a degree to get a good job because nobody cares if you can make a sig in ps.

 

^That's where you're wrong, again. Ever heard of Graphic Design? Here are the typical earnings.

One Year Experience : $50k-$60k
Bachelor's and No Experience : $40k-$50k
BA and One Year : $60k-$70k
MA and No Experience : $60k-$70k
MA and One Year : $70k-$80k

--|

For each additional year of experience, add $5k-$10k

I would say that's a nice profession. I'm going into medical though.

 

But that is one occupation out of a million.

 

And there you are wrong, I knew you'd say that though. Actually, I messed up the bold tag and had to correct it.
