sometimes tfs_mag, there is people that has a natural talent... but nobody is a nenius, you always need to go to learn somewhere.

i agree with you, i just think that especially in the field of web design/development that you can teach yourself way more than a school could ever teach you. imho

I agree, "qualify" is the wrong term for asking about a degree.
But, tfs_mag: "this is especially true with web design/development. "
a lack of education is exactly the reason why most web design and development is terrible design wise, and structure wise. so many cats out there that think that learning a program makes them a web designer... don't realize that the program is only a tool and its limitations are restrictive, not liberating.
Just my 2 cents.

F_Eddy I know I've seen alot of supposedly "qualified" people that are the same way. it depends on how you go about learning something. whether it's in a school or on your own i think the same "habits" will come through and in the end it really has no bearing on how good of a web designer or developer you will be. I went to school for communications ( i thought i wanted to work in radio) and later learned how to design and develop websites just out of trial and error. needless to say school proved to be pretty useless for me. but anyway, my point being that some people will always be bad at something no matter where or how they learned it.

F_Eddy, you took the words out of my mouth...
But I agree with tfs_mag too, I know I guy like you too, he studied in the same place I did, but he did on and off only 3 semesters, and he is one of the best designer I've seen here. But that's because he is the kind of person that learns by himself, reads book, looks for information and analises everything he sees.

ther's good and bad folks in every practice. People that are naturally talented, people that have learned their craft predominantly, and a mixture of both. No one group is better in general, than the other.
Point being made was just that in the field of web design/production, given that access is so easy and demand is so high, there is a lot of bad work in reference to design. A lot of web work that pays no attention to design principles (whether using those principles or rejecting them for a reason) and suffers because of it.
This only feeds the circle of not educating clients, bad design begetting bad design and so on and so on...
anyone can succeed, just takes certain talents and tools, given or taught.
