Re: Profit Schools - Can we condone them publically?
HAHAHAHAHAHA ooooh dear, this lil old topic. *breathes in* while I agree with the concept of "if a student really wants this they should research it" i think some teachers just simply DO NOT GIVE A DAMN(from personal experience at TWO universities). they know the core basics a student should know but they dont teach us.

Re: Profit Schools - Can we condone them publically?
FXPHD are doing a nice series on this but for the film industry, they're disecting the individual roles. explaining what is required in each role, and importantly how to find out yourself.

First some quotes: :thumbup: :) :thumbup: Yes. All kinds of agreement from here. Especially bad are the teachers who just want to clock in 8 hours and get paid.

Re: Profit Schools - Can we condone them publically?
It's great that we're hearing first-hand accounts of various schools and educational experiences, both negatively and positively, but a lot of people seem to have missed the point.

Re: Profit Schools - Can we condone them publically?
i don't really regret having attended school. for me, it was about alot more than just learning the required skills for the desired job. it helped me figure out which kind of job i actually wanted in the first place. i had the opportunity to try out whatever i wanted with the tech at school. i got to work with motion…
