I did go to college for design, BUT -all those things, you can only learn after you work for a company and you get to take part in meetings, one-on-one with a few clients, one-on-one with your art director, one-on-one with your fellow designers.... that's the ONLY way to learn. Schools cannot teach you those things, no matter what they change.
I bet that some kid is gonna read that article, do everything exactly, prepare themselves to be "employable" this person will ace their resume and interview, and guess what? I bet this kid will be the first one to cry like a little baby after their boss trash the crap out of their first design project - who in here never saw a designer who thought to be a "know-it-all" "drama-queen from fancy design school" to leave someone's office crying? for real?
Here's an advice for students coming from Benjamin Franklyn:
"Experience teaches slowly, and at the cost of mistakes"
