    They kicked me out of school 3 years back, right when I got my bachelor.

    Thinking of going back for Master and higher.

    You got kicked out of MIT?

    I voted other, I'm starting at MIT very soon, Course 2.

    "Your need was calculated using the Budget and Resources detailed below:
    Tuition and Fees: $34,986
    Room and Meals: $10,400
    Books and Personal: $2,814
    Travel: $500
    -------
    Budget totals: $48,700.

    Ouch.

    Naw, I was being sarcastic about it.

    I got kicked out = I grad.

    And no, I didn't go to MIT for my Bachelor. I'll go there for my master if I ever going to continue my engineering degree.

    But now, I gotta focus on the business and may be moving onto a different field.

    Paul, I refuse to vote until you put Savannah College of Art and Design on there. Do eeeeeeeeeet. Why? So that I can be the only one to click it... unless enormungus decides to come over to WL.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    c) it's over rated

    Don't get me wrong it is a great school and I would have liked to go there. However, I know a lot of people that go there are very smug about it and think they are going to be the next Spielberg right out of college only to realize that employers really don't give a shit what college you went to if you have no job experience.

    Don't mind me I am bitter.

    It's really not overrated... here's the thing... if you work hard for the school, the school works hard for you. If you bust ass in your classes, you will get offered things that other people don't get... I bust my ass.. therefore, I'm going to San Francisco in October for an international Industrial Design conference, and to Europe in January to help Kicker Car Audio with their European product line launch. I bust my ass, I get offered amazing opportunities, which look GREAT on a resume, and I get my name out to all kinds of people in the field. As we speak I'm having 2,000 business cards made for the conference in October, because I'll be rubbing elbows with big, BIG name designers, and I *will* be prepared if they ask me for my card.

    And in the art world, employers DO give a shit what college you went to... Especially amongst schools that have certain strong programs. For example... SCAD has Urban Design.. which basically is about planning urban and suburban developments... IE Atlantic Station, Centennial Park, etc etc... Now, they can hire an architect, and I'm sure they would get a good design and life would be peachy. But, say an architect applies for the job and an urban designer applies for the job... the urban designer has specific training pertaining to not just planning one space, but a multitude of spaces that interact with each other. The architect doesn't.

    Yes, SCAD is full of pompous asses, but check out the online galleries... most of us have reason to be a bit smug... and yes, I include myself in that category. I'm a total bitch when it comes to art.

    I hope the Atlanta campus has better artists than the Savannah one then.

    Basically, all I am saying is that employers are hiring the person, not the degree. In the end, they will care more about your portfolio and experience than where the degree came from. Some SCAD students (from what it sounds like you aren't being lumped into this category) don't seem to realize this.

    On a positive note, congrats on the personal achievements.

    So I saw your picture on Maniacs thread, and you are one of the nastiest ugliest bitches I have seen in a while. That picture is anything but flattering, and after seeing it, I reccomend a bleach and anti-freeze cocktail for you.

    On a side note, went to UGA for one year, now at USF when I moved to Tampa.

    Regardless of the domain, first graduate, then get a football team, and then win a national championship or two, or three, or four. Georgia Southern (GSU) FTMFW!!!
