    hey again.....

    i was thinking the same as you a year ago until i went to my portfolio course that ive just finished and my prioritys are now different...going to a good portfolio course is perfect for pointing you in the right direction as it will point out your flaws and your skills

    i got into all the colleges that i applied for and now decided to do core year in n.c.a.d

    mainly due to the fact that i dont want to head down a specified path....

    ok...you might want to do teaching now...or graphic design....but after your four years of 'training', would you be happy just being able to apply yourself to only one of the hundreds of sections in art?...ie teaching/graphic desgn?

    if i were in your shoes id try and do an all round education in it...you never know...you might find out that you could have an incredible knack for illustration or sculpture, then after being tought in most areas, you could break off in the direction you want to take then.......

    just something to think about :)

    if you want any other info you can pm me :) tedi :p
