>>What education teaches you though which I believe no one spoke about is how to think & how to teach. education lastly gives you wings to inderstand the impractical. Learning failure as part if a process & expressions just for you. hrmnnnn...I'm going to have to strongly disagree with the above statement.
The entire 'would I hire you with or without a degree' is such rubbish. If that was your rule I wouldn't want to work for you anyhow and you would be doing me a favor and yourself a disservice. How would you know you were making the right choice without trying, which you clearly would not... I think people that swing their degrees around are missing the mark and are just about as bad as religious fanatics that position themselves before the almighty or software manufacturers that repackage open source solutions for profit. knowledge is tantamount... contrary to your mass nurtured trends and hidden agendas your money hungry institutions uphold. the last thing i want to work with is another cliche cookie cut social brick know it all... just kidding lol On Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 7:54 PM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Is this all (both threads) really just a question of "this point in > history"? > Would I hire an Industrial Designer who doesn't have a degree in ID? > > Isn't the expectation if hiring a junior graphic designer that they > have a degree in visual design? > > I have always found it interesting that in the UX world we tend to > focus on the masters level with very little done at the Bachelor's > level.
