I agree. I like advertising. I was actually thinking about going into sales and advertising for a while.
But my opinion of it is that it's more practical than text-book. My opinion is that a lot can go into how your project is handled. How you speak to people, etc. You can be taught stuff like "this is watt o look for, don't spit on your hand when you shake theirs" .... but I don't think as much study really goes into business courses like accounting, etc. It seems that you'd be able to pick up whetever you need without having to pay the thousands of dollars for school.

I'm sure, if I did enough searching, I could look up all the acocunting principles I needed to set up my own self suffecient accounting firm out of my basement, had I the desire, through the internet and what I learned in highschool. I think you're paying more for the "experience" like learning what happens if you spit on your hand with these courses, but I don't think the price is worht it, when someone who spend $50 for a highspeed internet connection got acces to the same amount of info as you over the summer.

As a result of that. I was really discouraged from even taking a course in multimedia design. I have good people skills. I actually like getting up and giving presentations now. And I'm not completely lost when it comes to graphic deisgn. I know my way around photoshop, I know more than my way around web development, the only thing I see myseld picking up here would be extra time to learn flash.

Truthfully, though, I'm hoping to apply to a post graduate program in music recoridng arts. It's a tough course to get on its own, and there's a note that a lot of the applicants are post graduates. That and me not giving one shit in highschool and having a bad grade average, I'm hoping i can shine through this, and get accepted next time I apply.

So to the original statement, College = uselss. I completely agree now. In highschool I was so paranoid about not getting in and all that crap, and now, I haven't even started, and I already see alternatives. However, Highschool = uselss is much more of a true statement. Persoally, I almst don't want to go, because I don't feel I've come close to earning it. It's wierd. I watched the Breakfast Club the other day (that movie answer all your questions) and I saw that I was really like the guy Judd Nelson plays, on a lot of levels, and here I am, enroled in college... Makes me think.
