How I learned to do the stuff I do
❌ School
❌ Uni
✅ Screwing around on my computer
oh I know what uni gave me:
- The tablet I use
- Photoshop which I don't use anymore
- A scanner
- A few books which are actually p good
Not worth £17,000 in student debt, but yanno
@dzuk same I feel like I paid 15k€ for a bunch of free windows license keys tbh
@vfrmedia @Siphonay I think all of formal education is mostly fucked tbh.
If you're not into maths/sciences/the kind of stuff that actually requires a qualification to demonstrate knowledge/skill and you're into weird alternative media / uncharted territory like I constantly was, you just get constantly told what you want to do doesn't matter and nobody actually teaches you anything you couldn't do with an internet connection and a little spare cash.
@vfrmedia @Siphonay and in fact less than that because they don't teach you squat, they just give you little tasks to do, which anyone could do by themselves, no insight, no worthwhile skill transference, nothing that people were already doing for free or for cheap on the internet.
