You should go to a university. Maybe a techinical or design school. More than likely they are highly trained and skilled. You need different variations if you plan on going to a company.The thing with freelance and training from some wack tutorials is that it's not creative. If you're freelance with a degree you will get work. Most major companies will look at a Company before a Freelance Artist. You'll get bigger jobs if the compnay has major clients. You can be a freelance artist and still get called in to do work with a company. The purpose of design school is to not teach you cool effects but to depend on your creativity, have an I for detail and execute your idea thorugh design. They won't teach you that by taking a online course because it will be hands on. Maybe a class in ceramics, painting, make a few sketches.
Go to a university make a portfolio with non commercial and commericial work. Keep your work distincitive as possible. I would go to a company no doubt. Then maybe after that you can go into freelance. Hopefully if you build a relationship with your client they'll continue to do business.
I'm still in high school but once I graduate i'm going to Louisiana Tech in the School of Arts program and i've read about the program though the site. So that not based on what I think but what I know.
all that being said at the end you stated you.. READ ABOUT THE PROGRAM THROUGH THE SCHOOLS SITE,SO THATS NOT BASED ON WHAT YOU THINK BUT WHAT YOU KNOW....
so It appears that you take some(NOT all) things you read as the gospel.Now I cant say I blame you the university shouldnt be tryin to steer you wrong,but being they are trying to sell you something..they might tell you what they want you to hear....We should be able to have faith in our education,our govt our churches,but aint no one or nothing perfect...and let me tell you Im not a anti system/govt person.....we live in a great country and are fortunate to have the freedoms we do have...but i do beleive that the govt has alot of control,and there is alot of things that get swept under the rug,and some things that dont get swept that should...like the iraqi prisoner scandal..I think you have spent alot of time in the class room,and just like you are a student of the books,its time to open the next chapter in your life and learn life lessons..wich isnt an over night thing..its nothing you study...sit back,listen,watch,and form your own opinion...you will not be graded..It may not make sense right now but in time in some form or another it will...remmber.Im not saying that there are UFO,s and secret societys wich may or may not exist...Im not even saying Im right about the flight93 situation..All Im saying is anything is possible,and I would be interested to know the truth,wich may never happen..
