Nothing matches the rigor of an actual workplace and the deadline to ship product. Fact: a huge number of failed businesses are led by MBAs, Fact: some of the most spectacular success stories, especially in our industry, are led by college drop-outs (cf. Gates, Jobs, Dell, Zuckerberg, etc), Fact: educational institutions have failed to produce curricula relevant to fast changing workplace demands, Fact: many degreed but ineffectual designers have been spotted in the wild, Fact: so have non-degreed but excellent designers. Conclusion: It's silly to set these rules and expectations without individual contexts. -- Kontra http://counternotions.com ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
