Thanks a lot blindwillie, Zedd and sb81! That's what i needed to know! Thanks! Now i know it's the same way everywhere! I was all crazy thinking only this country sucks in IT education but it seems it's the same way everywhere. And those 55 years old teachers are driving me crazy! A total beginner in guitar knows about guitar more than those teachers about computer! Sad but true!

Hi!! I would like to tell you something about me. I am finishing my Sound & Recording and Sound & Video Post production studies at the University. I have learnt very interesting things in the University but I learnt more things working at recording studios.
I have studied guitar for 10 years with teachers and also by myself and I still continue studying. I want to be a great musician and a great music productor. I would also like to be a film music composer. Nowadays I work for GMC, as a producer of two bands and I'm finishing the first LP of my band Cirse (We are in the mastering process!). gabriel.- -------------------- My lessons

I was all crazy thinking only this country sucks in IT education but it seems it's the same way everywhere. And those 55 years old teachers are driving me crazy! A total beginner in guitar knows about guitar more than those teachers about computer! Sad but true! Just to add my 2c - I got a good Computer education I think, but they taught me Pascal and a whole bunch of other stuff that while interesting, wasn't what people use in the real world. If I had to pick some useful stuff out of what I learnt I would say that when you've learnt one computer programming language you've learnt them all (apart from functional languages like prolog - they are crazy!), so learning the first one well is useful. I Taught myself C at college, glad I did because that's what everyone was using when I came out. About once a year I use a concept from my studies that people without compute degrees are impressed by, but now, after 15 years in the industry, 99.4% of what I do I learnt on the job. I now do a lot of presales work, based at home which is cool, but every now and again I manage to sneak off and do some programming or web development work which is the thing I still enjoy most - in the field of computers that is. Still looking for a way to dump it all and be a rock star though -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

I'm still at school, although it is my last year this year before heading off to study mechatronic engineering at Auckland university.
I have a part time job as a web developer though doing contract websites for people which is fun and pays great. -------------------- Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day. Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way http://www.myspace.com/cashnz |

I own a "fast food" franchise, and build web pages on the side. Although I have to say that I've been building a lot less web pages now that I practice the guitar more.

Yeah like choosing website skin - if you are a tech guys you pick up a computer related skin. If you are a food guys you get hot-dogs and pizzas on your skin hahha But that way you get hungry right away!
