they are levtured tought, do labs, ect

you need to have charm and connections

That's something that's been drilled into me for a few years, going to this Uni will allow me to network as well

thats good

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki And? That's not giving you a *skill*, it's just introducing you to an activity.

Few music does coding

you gotta network alot

Since a lot of my lecturers have toured/recorded many famous bands

THAT IS *TEACHING YOU SOMETHING YOU DONE KNOW*

ack caps

if you wanna be the next jeremy soule or martin o donnel XD

dumb phone

I agree, I plan to build up as much experience as needed

Even if I can't work for a company in Japan straight away, I'll still attempt to find a company that I can work for and build experience there before trying again

All schools test knowledge and give credit. But they have to impart knowledge before testing it

I have a lot of time to do this so I'm not worried

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki What I'm saying is, this kid might learn a thing or two about a new topic, but he won't be the top of his class because there's *always* going to be that guy who goes into college already an expert and just reaps the credit hours.

I'm not sure how it works in the US but getting 20 credits in each module is fine with me

This is true. But you dont know this kids learning skill. Some can pick up quick and hit towards the top.

Considering that if I get 20 credits in all modules then I will have a bachellors

I've been a musician since I was 7 and play at a Grade 8 music level

In multiple brass instruments

So I'm alright on the music theory front

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki If he was great at it, he would already be an expert without college. That's the difference between "getting in the door", and being the one selected

Riiight

I do agree with a lot of Infringed's points

he is right though wether you like it or not

it aint easy

You realize 70% of Stem students arnt *masters of the subject* that is a fallacy

He is right, but that isn't going to mean that I will let it hold me back from doing my best and hardest at this

Always have a fallback

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki We're talking about a competitive field like Game Music.

I've been taught that as well, always have a fallback in the music industry

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki what you dont seem to understand is that Most STEM like Archiutectural engineering is different in level of competence compared to something in the gaming industry

That's why I'm building connections so if I don't have work I can contact one so I can be a sound engineer at a gig or tour with bands

not many schools for gaming industry with music

Stuff that I've done previously

I get that

its a far more competitive and difficult thing to succeed in gaming

I agree

My issue is saying going for a degree without entering with *mastery* beforehand is ending in failure
