Thanks everyone for the comments. In regards to "Rita, what do you want to be when you grow up? It is the # 1 question I ask any prospective student. Your list is exhaustive of media, but it doesn't say what you want to do w/ them when your done. What is your ideal job?"
I don't think I have considered the possibilities of employment and that leaves me stuck. I originally went to graduate school because I wanted to create Interactive Installation Art--While I was there I started creating wearable computing devices and then had to leave. I don't feel like I received many useful hands on skills while there and if I return my graduate work will still be art focused not design focused. I want to create interactive devices and objects that can be used in a functional way, wearable or not. I am not opposed to art but I want to have a career other then art professor which seems to be where most students are now. -Rita. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
