... I say and agree w/mrsparkle as these schools tend to be PRICEY... and no where near the quality you'd expect.
someone mentioned how the majority of students were shit... man... hear! hear! (sp?)...
... look into a school that actually accepts you based on 'talent'...

"not to mention, its about 50,000 times easier to get the poon in college"

where are you studying? 2 year diploma.. ? if you're at the AI and you're current employer offers you to continue on with them, I'd drop the school for now.. specially if you're with an uninspiring group.

AI? art institute? I heard that a good school...

I always think of it this way...
If you and someone just as qualified apply for the same job, and he has a degree and you don't, he's gonna get hired.
That alone makes it worth it.
And if you only have one more year, milk it, bum around, go out, travel, and do nothing while you still can.

i felt just liek you at the age of 20 and i remeber everyone i was working with at th etime tell me " dont be in such a rush to work" travel - go see europe" and i was all gung hoooo to work - here i am 10+ years later wishing i had heeded their advice :(

agreed with what everyone's saying, but buddy is 19 and judging by his portfolio has some budding creative skills that are probably above whatever the 2 year degree has to offer.
and once you graduate there's all the pressure to jump into the job market and start your career.
i went through design school at teh same age and in retrospect consider it to be too young.
my 2 cents; work a year at the firm, save some coin, and either go travel (butonly if you feel you need to, it ain't all that) or enroll in a more inspiring design program that you can fully immerse yourself in and do the "art school" thing.
i'd recommend Emily Carr if you wanna stay in Vancouver.
