sorry David, i wasn't directly disagreeing with you there, just the
original
'years and years of studying' i think later on in my post i put 'a few
solid
months software practise' - just meaning with the right mentor****p and
dedication, 3D can be a much faster learning curve than say going to
university for years. Its just that i deal with a lot of people that, if
they'd been given proper help in the first place, could probably have
missed
a huge chunk of their lives wasted on mediocre uni learning and just
gotten
in there with the professionals and been lightyears ahead of where they
end
up. im very much a beleiver of on-the-job training, probably as result of
not seeing great results through the official education system...(did i
mention i dont do great at school? lol hmmm, please excuse my bias!)
also, on a side note, as i actively interview and employ people in
D/video - i find that people coming from university tend to be asking for
well paid high level jobs straight away, and in fact are asking for the
wrong thing. They've been built up and up to believe that they are Great
Artists now and deserve a Great Job--whereas in fact, the few people that
come with a more humble approach are given jobs on a lower pay, with much
less expected of them - but with a view to training the hell out of them
for
a year or so, after which, bumping that pay right up. Not always the case
btw, there are some great graduates, but i do find this on the whole - and
maybe even more so nowadays.
