Well, sometimes I think that it was worth it, sometimes not. I admit that I enjoyed learning new things; I liked to discuss movies, plays and art. In a way it was very sophisticated.
But on the other hand it felt like spending years in an ivory tower and talking was all there ever was. Once I hit the road and tried to gain ground on the job market, employers weren’t much interested in what I’ve learned, only in what I could do in practice. If you graduate from university, there is a big gap between theory and practice. Everything is just so theoretical and practice is very often neglected. Therefore I often felt – and still do – that studies aren’t properly preparing you for the job market, a deficit that people who complete job training might not have. Of course, I’ve done internships, so it’s not that I don’t have any experience. But to be honest, the things that I’ve learned and that were really useful for me, such as film analysis, handling literature correctly and writing scientific texts, well, I probably could have learned them in 1,5 years. Add another six months of exercise in a company to that and I think studying would be more effective. But instead students spent years in their ivory tower.
I wrap things up to get to a point and to answer your question. A positive experience for me was definitely that I’ve learned things about myself:
- I like lectures, but I like it even more to consume art or to make art myself rather than to analyze it.
- I’m very lazy and an academic path simply wouldn’t right for me. So I’m glad that lies behind me.
- I’m not sure if studying itself was worth it because I could have accomplished the same knowledge differently and probably more effectively if I had done a job training instead.
Congrats
.Have people actually told you that? Have they never given you a reason why they feel uncomfortable?
Then your qualification isn't bad.
Well, yeah, that is pretty impressive. It shows that you care about your work and that you can work really hard. It's not a bad condition if you really want to be an editor.
I liked that commercial
. I like Wasa 
.Well, I know how you feel, believe me. I'm older and still struggeling. Sometimes I think about giving up, but then there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Your situation might not be great at the moment, that doesn't mean things will change. If you really care about becoming an editor you should go for it. Find a way. Maybe you can't do it right away and maybe it takes a few more years. But why shouldn't you be able to do something that you really want to do?
I was wondering why you write everything you read down? Do you want to keep track of all your books?
I've got a friend with the same problem but I could never figure out how it actually affects her life other than that she needs special milk and ice-cream. How is it like, if you don't mind me asking?
3. I'm an intern at Zoic Studios, as seen in my location (yes, the Firelfy and BSG guys); they're currently doing V, CSI and others...and I've seen Things. Awesome Things. I also wrote and am producing our intern visual effects project, under the tutelage of the producers and artists there.
That's very cool
.EDIT: I finally figured the multi-quote thing out
.
terms I'm using!) I have a feeling that it is where my soul used to be. I say "used to be" because if there is such a thing (and I am not religious so I couldn't define it for you other than as a nebulous concept), I lost it at age 12. I didn't die physically, or mentally, or emotionally, but in some sense I died, and I'm hollow.
