2tongues You are also fighting against the "free" people who are excellent amateurs who give their work away just to be published. This phenomenon killed 2000ad artists, they used to employ 50 artists in the 80's and early 90's now they have 2. All replaced with free fan art.
Maybe I should have charged the club to design the calendar then...don't want to be accused of killing the industry :Bazza:

When I was your age I would've taken some of these comments as negative criticism but now I'm older I can see where they're coming from. They just want you to make sure you're 100% about this and don't regret it later in life.
When I was at school I wanted to be a chef but changed my mind before I started studying for it. I then decided I wanted to get into IT so went to college for 2 years and did a couple of other short courses but ended up working in advertising instead! Then I left work at 22 and went to uni for 3 years to do multimedia as I wanted to be a website designer and here I am back in advertising as jobs are so hard to come by in that industry!
So you could say I've wasted 5 years of my life getting qualifications in these areas when I already knew most of it from teaching myself at home. I just wanted the piece of paper to say I could do it to help me get a job but it didn't work out that way. A higher qualification in maths for instance would probably be more beneficial in helping you get a good job. If you're good at something a strong portfolio will speak volume, much more than a piece of paper. Would you be happy studying 2 subjects, photography and something else?
It's your life though and your decision, I'm sure you've made the right one for you :wink:
