FULL SAIL ADVICE FROM AN EXPERIENCED, ACCOMPLISHED WEB DEVELOPER.

There are a lot of negative comments on here about Full Sail. The truth of the matter is, the people writing these negative comments are probably just like some of the students at the school I attended before Full Sail - kids who think that just because they're pursuing a creative, cool profession, that its going to be easy.

The truth of the matter is, its very hard to become successful in the web/game design/graphic design/animation industries. Why not? ITS FUN! Its a blast, and it pays well. But there are SO many people who want to do it, and you need to bust your ass to get the right opportunities.

I run a full time web design company - I'm 26, am married, have my own place, and its my sole profession.. its been my full time career for three years now. So I think my opinion has some ground - the program at Full Sail is fantastic. The people that are going to succeed in these industries are people who dont look at it as a 9:00-5:00 job. You need to constantly expand your skills… work extra hours, study and learn new techniques, go to conventions and trade shows, read magazines and books.. you need to really develop your trade. You need to live this stuff. The people that succeed in this industry will grasp that and work hard and do well. My point is, the people giving Full Sail a hard time are either:

  • a) not good (unfortunatly, you need to be exceptional to succeed and get work in a creative field)
  • b) lazy
  • Full Sail offers a tremendous program. Tremendous. The web design program teaches web standards, flash, backend, etc. If you work hard, you'll appreciate the program. If you're expecting a career to be handed to you, you wont get it.

    questionI am currently applying and considering enrolling at Full Sail in the web development program. I was wondering exactly how helpful was the coursework in helping you gain the understanding necessary to run your company. Will I learn to be proficient in the ins and outs of Flash with this? Thank you for your time in responding.
