Re: FLASH: Re: MM grad school to Travis

Travis:


Consider yourself lucky that your grad program was demanding; mine let 

anyone in and everyone got A's.  In order to separate myself from the 

"fly-by-nighters" I spent a lot of time learning things on my own and from 

kind folks that answered all of my questions.


Unfortunately, most of the people who are coming out my school are learning 

the hard way that they are not qualified for most the jobs that they apply 

for.  I worked extremely hard,dedicated my time to learning and found an 

employer who is familiar with my program, so he knew what I was talking 

about when I walked in his door.


I also had to find my "speciality", but I was able to get a serious grasp on 

most of the industry's applications.  I didn't mean to make it sound as if 

experience is not necessary, but I'm from NYC where experience is everything 

and it seems that the Pittsburgh market is concerned with what school you 

attended and who referred you.
