September 22, 200322 yr Last night I started my college course. It's going to be two nights a week, four hours sessions for six months. It's not that bad, plus it's a web-design and design in general course, which is something I love. Problem is... I don't know, I got a good impression last night, everyone seems nice but the rest of the students are all in their thirties or so, and I'm the only one who's seventeen :o I feel a bit alone. Plus I thought this course will help me to improve my design skills, but turns out it's pretty basic. They start from scratch because these people haven't got a clue in webdesign... I've been working with webdesign and designs for about five years now so I'm pretty skilled, so most of the things I'm going to study there aren't new to me. I will get some sort of degree when I'm done, and I will learn some things... but most of them are pretty much things I can learn on my own? I practice a lot as it is anyway. I don't need to start learning everything all over again. Is it really worth my $1500? Shall I quit or go on?
September 22, 200322 yr I would say stick it out a little longer then make a decision - you can't really decide after one day. Would you get $$ back if you quit?
September 22, 200322 yr its up to you but from what you wrote id say quit :dozey: :D ..i dont see any advantage jus that peeps are nice...lol.....but....after having a look at your sites i deffo think you dont need to spend $$$ for a "basic" course :)
September 22, 200322 yr Author Cheers Momo :D Thanks both of you though... I think I'll stay for a week or two and then see where it goes. I really hope I get my money back... well, my parents paid for it and now I feel awful :( bahhh
September 23, 200322 yr If you think the degree will take you somewhere, take the class. If you are not learning anything, I would say take a more advanced class. (that's just my opinion)

(that's just my opinion) I would, but turns out there isn't an advanced class :confused: I guess I'll stay for a bit and see what it's like :D Thanks for your help guys!
September 23, 200322 yr maya are you going to go to the army? Yeah, next year though :) for how long, 1 and a half years?
September 24, 200322 yr I would approach the course leader and see if there is some flexibility in the course design. You may find that he may allow you to do project work which he could provide aditional supervision on when they are covering issues you are confident about. You could then re-join at the later advanced stages... Failing that quit out if you can get a rebate because there is no point in wasting time when you know something is time wasting... And yes your existing sites are very good so I'm sure you should be 'advanced'! :D
September 24, 200322 yr Author maya are you going to go to the army? Yeah, next year though :) for how long, 1 and a half years? two years, girls now have to do a 2 years service. ahhh well, I'll survive *lol* I can't wait in a way, so many hotties in uniforms! :smug: :lol:

So in the meantime I'm staying :) Thanks a bunch though!
September 24, 200322 yr If you have already paid; Go on, a shame to waste money. If you haven't already paid: Quit, it aint worth that much money to learn such few things.
