And you're working for $25 an hour now at age 29?

Remind me to tell my children not to study that course.



Its fairly well known amongst the design community you go to uni for a degree, and you go to TAFE to actually learn how to design. I didn't even bother applying for uni for that reason. My brothers GF did Graphic Design at uni for 5 years and passed and she only knew one program: Photoshop!

Yet I knew how to use Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Dreamweaver, Lightwave, Final Cut Pro, Director and After Effects within a single year at TAFE. The extra two years were just pushing my knowledge and application of these programs further. I loved doing it too, it was a fantastic course.

Sarukan do you use Illustrator? I couldn't understand how she passed without knowing Illustrator. I thought that would be all but essential to being a Designer...

all the programs back to front. We did use illustrator at uni was one of the main programs to use , besides quark and indesign and acrobat. I like to keep in touch with the lastes adobe programs but am more into the design side of things... don't use much director or dreamweaver these days as i don't do too much animation or webpages. I found that photoshop is just to make your artwork look pretty and to use filters. It's funny how people are amazed on someone doing an artwork in photoshop (when it's later broken up to see what they did and to find out 90% of the things done are filters )

Why would you have to wait a year??

Anyway, are these the courses you have already got the 'go ahead' for or do you need to apply for them still??

I'd say apply for all of them and that'll give you time to think...? And maybe you'll still be in the same boat?
