[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 8608083, member: 50895"] I didn't actually finish college. I was only going for an A.A., so was just taking general education classes, though my interest was graphic design, and the school I went to didn't have much to offer in that field. Of the classes I'd taken, the ones I enjoyed the most were History of Western Civ 1, Art History 1, American Lit, English Lit and Philosophy, and was getting straight A's for the most part. While I enjoyed those classes, I didn't see a future in any of those specific fields, aside from becoming a teacher, which I have no interest in doing. At everything I've done and accomplished in life, I'm self taught. I ran a graphic design/digital print studio for 22 years serving everyone from individuals to corporate and government. I've had a 15 year professional freelance illustration career, serving some of the biggest publishers, and now a publisher myself. I've done well without a degree, but wouldn't recommend it as a career learning path to pursue - still, I've done alright. I remember after completing the map commissions I did for Brady Games, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Strategy Guide, and after getting paid, they asked, "oh, by the way, what university did you attend?" I had to laugh at that. Unlike most, clients never look at my resume, rather at my portfolio and publications. [/QUOTE]
