sorry dude.
your right, education is not a shortcut to a carreer, its what you do w the education if your smart enough to take advantage.and your justified in railing against "degree mills".
on the same token, i learned more in my two years working under a genius at a pretty big studio than i ever did w my nose in a book.
but if i didnt have the education i did, i wouldve been left in the dust.
and yes, i did think you said 3 days, either way, ill bury the hachet.
i dont take anything you said personally.
but i dont think you'd "mop the floor with me."
i got my protools rig more than 5 years ago, and have been fortunate tto have found little trouble finding work because i have a good attitude and provide excellant service .
truthfully, i think youd be pleasantly surprised by me.  |
sometimes ballistics are the proof. I've seen CSI
I understand.
Okay - we're pretty much on the same page. I'll delete the post if you want - i did actually edit a few bits... trying not to be insulting but still getting the old point across sort of thing.... might have gone too far...... just that when someone swears at me I take a defensive stance!!
Your last sentence is precisely the sort of thing that fuels peoples work. The right attitude - that's always what I'm looking for in people.
And I agree an education is the first step in any career. I really want people to be sure what they're doing when they try and enter this business.....it's tough. You probably know this!! Heck - I've made a lot of money over the years but I wonder daily if I should have stayed in research - how much more work is there really gonna be etc etc!!
And yes - "degree mills" are predatory. Not just in music though - there is a lot of it in the arts overall. My good lady did a performing arts degree at a similar media based college - regrets it a lot now......
the "mop the floor" was a sideswipe joke.....
likewise sorry for any offense. I'm certainly not belittling anyone for doing the course - that would be stupid and if it's come across that i've implied that - then that's not what i meant!
