if you listen to Fluke ,only thing goes on there is sex sex sex
Just an overpriced taxpayer funded jobs program.
I have a cousin who works 38hrs per week at Western Michigan University. She wants to work a full 40 hours because at 40 hours, she gets a paid hour per day to work out in the gym. Pretty good scam really, 2 more hours per week translates to 5 paid hours off per week.
Told this story before..our current web guy replaced our other web guy who graduated from an expensive tech school but let him go as he was unreliable.
At the Christmas party, the management asked him where he went to school and his answer was “university of Youtube”. Apparently, he downloaded the bootleg versions of Adobe and self-studied by watching the Youtube vids and borrowed books from library. He mentioned “only idiots pay $5000 a semester just to learn Photoshop and Illustrator”.
Have to keep lining the pockets of those, oh so special professors.
Funny thing you say that. I’m glad to hear that story because that’s what I’m doing, using a lot of free ebooks from WoWebook.
I can’t believe how much free information and software there is when it comes to educating yourself on computers.
Who needs a huge gamble?! I didn't go to college, but I was offered a high paying college professorship with an 'occupational credential,' which I turned down. They doubled their offer to the highest paid, I still turned them down.
They wanted to know why. I pointed to the purple-spiked hair of a passing student, with rings in his nose, lips and tongue, and told them they couldn't find enough money to make me put up with that kind of crap in a class room.
I've never regretted that decision.
One of my favorite photoshop tutorial sites. Once you have the basics down anything more is a waste of money.

Awesome. I’ve been using all the free knock-offs like Gimp, Vectorian Giotto, Kompozer, and Inkscape.
I’d like to move to CS3.
On paper I’m the dumbest person at my company. Everyone else has at least an associates degree. However, as the senior IT guy, I am the one they turn to when their computer won’t boot/spreadsheets aren’t printing right/email doesn’t open/etc.
Were I to obtain a college degree and attempt to use it to get a job I would have to take about a 50% pay cut. To top it off, per my job description, I’m not educationally qualified to even apply for my own job now.
When asked where I went to college I simply say USMC.
I do have photoshop7 too.
I’d like to have CS5 but I’m not paying $800 + for it. A few more bells and whistles just aren’t worth the cost.
He BORROWED $10,000 for a CAR when he could have paid cash for a $500 beater instead, yet he claims he's fiscally responsible?? Unreal!!
I’ve mostly been making websites, well just two actually. But the only investment I made was my time.
The only problem I’m having is staying focused on a few things. I keep finding other things I want to study like Java and C++.
2 weeks ago, the L.A. adult education offered 50 BUCKS for the entire Adobe series of Illustrator, In Design, Photoshop, Flash, Fireworks, Dreamweaver..filled up within 48 hours.
50 bucks. 3 months, Monday to Friday. Adobe.
Art Institute and DeVry offers the same curriculum for 10 grand. For 10 grand, I have a new Honda Civic.
I use Gimp on occasions as I used it to make my banners on the anime websites. Whatever you are comfortable with.
When I was a kid, before teachers unions took over K-12 and the Left took over universities, the teaching profession and professors were adequately paid and respected.
Since then, Democrats proved they soil every institution they control.
Our military was the last holdout. The Left will soon make sure it will be finished, past tense, as an effective force. Guaranteed.
