I completed my HSC in 2003
have done 3 years of TAFE study
I have the following
Certificate IV in Design
Certificate IV in Digital Media
Diploma in Digital Media

So I finished studying in 2006...started my own freelance design business in 2007...and yeah thats about it

I am currently about to start looking for some full time work in digital media/multimedia design...I feel I am lacking some experience to make my small business really grow

dermy said: What's with all the TAFE hate?

Okay, picture this: You go to TAFE to study trade modules. The trade you happen to be studying is plumbing (the highest paid trade in Australia), in 4 years of that apprenticeship, you don't have to see TAFE again, and you'll be raking in the $$$.

As for Uni, well, alot of years studying to be, say, a teacher, and when it comes, they strike cause they don't get paid enough, and hate what they do.


Personally, I prefer TAFE, cause I like a hands-on approach when it comes to work. It is NOT the lesser Uni.



Agreed. TAFE is much better than uni in a lot of ways. There shouldn't be that stigma around it. Think of TAFE as Uni for trades and industry type work. Uni is more for people who want to be professionals. Plumbers all the way lol.

not go to school for a couple of weeks and get kicked out





i got kicked out at a good time really early this year that way i wouldnt have to start studying for the HSC and do harder work




uhh... ur an idiot.



Why would u want to get kicked out of school? seriously, are u retarded.




omg,



thats very mean jotendo and from an administrator no less i wanted to get kicked out cause my classes started to bore me real bad and i couldnt change em also i was only a matter of time before i got kicked out since i had 50 days off


okay fine, i know that was a bit harsh. but the way u said it was just wrong :S


if u hate your classes then leave your self, resign from school. Don't get 'kicked out' thats just.. (nice way) not good.

Everyone hates at least some of their classes, but its life. Millions of people are going through the same thing and millions in the future will, u've just goto tough it' lol.

But if you've already got 'kicked out' fair enough, i reccomend you go do some tafe courses or something. lol

sorry again,



i forgive you jo

Well i'd have to say that wasn't the smartest thing to do obviously :P

You can do year 12 at TAFE, which is a much better environment, albeit you still will have to study (which i highly recommend cause i didnt do much of that =/) or you can do an apprenticeship or other course at TAFE


Anyway i voted Finished TAFE/Uni................for now anyway

Finished doing Diploma in Digital Media last year but i didnt end up passing it so i have the Cert IV in Digital Media (not as impressive but meh) was going to go to uni and do BA in TV Production, but i decided to look for work instead...............into my 6th month for that now........

I did TAFE after finishing HS and did TAFE for 3 years so i needed a break from study, plus i wanted to earn monies
