CristianWed, Dec 12, 2007 I think many of us have been trough the same experience, where ever you are studying.
When I was in my second year and I remember I wanted to quit Graphic Design (GD), studying art history (the experience of different really old guys, what this or this or this other person ones said), doing structures with materials, visiting old printers, etc... I thought it was not for me, and I was doing something that I will regret in the future. But one of my teachers had a really good eye, I talked to him and he helped me with my own likes, so I could get interested in an honest way for the first time in the career. Now I love all of those things that are related to GD, I believe I had to give them the right direction with my own interests at the time.
The thing is that, you could probably drop out (I know now that it was just a dramatic scenario), but if you have a year left, what is the point?... finish the experience, every experience (good or bad) there are some things you can get some knowledge from ("with experience you become a master", - or something like that - someone said). But truly the important thing is to find your interest, in any way, this comes in hand with independent projects or personal motivations. In the end sometimes a career can be based probably 30% in academic knowledge and 70% in practise/love.
This has something to do with DIY probably. Anyway, just a thought.
