My wife has a friend who is graduating from community college where she is "majoring" in web or graphic design, not sure which. She has the skills you might expect, basically none, and wants to be a web designer.
What are some sites similar to QBN with less banter and more web talk? And before you ask, I'm not gonna post a link to her site or send her here. I don't think this place is quite her speed. :)
She's in SoCal, by the way, not that it matters.

"I don't think this place is quite her speed."
Is she "slow?" This place is probably perfect for her.

Is this some covert way of saying you are considering swinging/wife swapping? Because that's what I am getting here. Am I alone in this?

really what i'm trying to find for her is a forum like this, where people post threads about, "how did they do this thing on X site?" or "examples of horizontal scrolling sites", shit like that. where she can just get a better idea of what web trends are and what kind of coding shit she needs to be learning.

So let me get this straight.
Skills = None
Looks = Meh- <CALLES

Tell her to get the want ads out!
Register with Krop and web/design staffing agencies.
Enter the design competition world
Build a professional portfolio and network asap!
Work with real clients as soon as she can.Tell her to get ready for a whole lot of disappointment. No teacher can or wants to prepare you for what goes on out here.
- at graduation time seems a little late to start learningteh
- yeah, i've given that type of advice to her already.johnny_wobble
- she had no idea there were staffing agencies for web design.johnny_wobble
- Can she manage server side? if she can she could get entry position.teh
- i don't know what she can do.johnny_wobble

If your close to Carlsbad and SD check out Aquent if she is good and they can make a match she could get a decent entry position. There is a lot of work for web design in SD. Tell her to get on there make a profile and see what happens
- yeah, she's near SD, oceanside i think. i sent her to aquent already. creativegroup and creativecircle too.johnny_wobble
- Sounds like she is putting everything in place.teh
