^^ I have found that people who are school-taught are usually better than those who are self-taught or those who have had on-the-job training. On the job, you generally learn how to use the software and produce what the directors want. In school, you learn how to think for yourself and do what you want. Experience as both a director and a creative at such an early time in one's design career can be invaluable, if used right.
More abstract concepts are explored and more creativity is unleashed in an educational atmosphere, leading the creative youngster to become a more unique designer. Whereas those who grow up going from high school to mail room to design houses usually just learn to spit out the latest design fad, and are hopeless when it comes to picking up something new and running with it.
It's the difference between a designer and a production artist. Of course, there are exceptions, but that's just been my experience.
