This is fucking bullshit!

I dont get this, you complain that those with better education than you will stand first in line to higher schools?

The education is in no measure higher than the other, they are just almost completely differet from each other.

The other part knows everything about nothing useful, and the other know nothing about anything useful outside their own profession.

[skdr]

Dude. Just apply. If you have skills and you think you'll make it, why not? It doesnt really matter if you dont have the "right" schools done etc. just apply and if the teachers think you're good enough, you'll be selected...

In my case, not true. The mathematics and physics I learned in high school are imperative to me. 95% of my classes at uni require that knowledge.

To me it sounds like you're reinforcing his point GrayFox

But yeah as an outsider I'd say skdr is on the money. Why complain about chances and percentiles when the meat of the matter is your own actual talent? If you're good enough you should get in; 70/30 are really not bad odds after all.

If they think you're a subpar artist you either need to improve or the school isn't the right path for you in the first place.

[Kosmo]

Skdr, you are propably right, if I can't get in, the school isn't for me.

I have decided that I'll see if I can get my groove on and make a kick ass preliminary test submission. If it's like last year - I was uninspired by the assignments and the finished art I submitted sucked ass - I won't apply at all.

In my case, not true. The mathematics and physics I learned in high school are imperative to me. 95% of my classes at uni require that knowledge.

Did you say UNI?

Didn't I say that high school education is only useful if you continue studying?

But you are about to continue your studying, so why didn't you go to high school?

I had my heart set on going through some sort of higher education from the very beginning. But also, I wanted a profession, illustrator to be precise, because a man without a profession is not a man at all.

And, as much as I love studying, I wanted to havea job in the middle of my studies, and by job, I mean something else than flipping burgers or working at local Siwa.

Besides, most polytechnic shcools (or vocational high school, what ever) are easier to get from vocational shcool, just like UNIs are easier to get from high school, but there are some exceptions like EVTEK. Like the programming school I'm going to apply, I actually have equal and some points, even better chance to get in than high school students.

So basically what I did, was I opted for more possibilities than I would have had if I went for high school. Graduating from high school and not getting in to any school after that would basically mean that you live at your parents house for another year. One month after vocational school, I had a job with good pay and my own appartment and I could afford to buy neat things like new cell phones and the best internet money could buy and so on, you get my point.

This kind of thinking is the reason for your problems now.

Look, even if I knew that going with high school would have given me better footing when applying to EVTEK, I still wouldn't trade my current profession away, I love my job, and I'm very good at it.

Atleast my vocational school education has given me the possibility to study the things they teach in that school by myself, as opposite of going to high school and not knowing anything about graphics at all.

What about those that complain about maybe not getting into schools because they chose to get a profession, are they men?

I guess it would be men with attitude? Men nonetheless, since even the manliest of men (singer of monster magnet?) complain when unfair setting is presented at their disadvantage.

[ginsengavenger]

real men bitch

Well, they finally published the preliminary tests, and first impression is that they are easy, easier than last year atleast.

I'm going to doodle away the next three months and check out if I can come up with something good to apply, then I will try (it only costs me 5 points from the programming school so doesn't really matter). But if my output is as crappy as last year, I won't apply, but I got around 10 weeks to do something, so atleast I got the time on my side.
