I've been studying and using multiple DAW's since I was 14, I'm currently 21

@Tens̶u̶s̶h̶i̶ if you are white than good luck cause you wont succeed at this day and age if you arent fast enough until too many game developers leave their fkg jobs to go to japan

I want to learn things that I may not know

You know people with self achieved skills still go to college for degrees and certs fool

@Tens̶u̶s̶h̶i̶ College won't teach you those things.

College will get you certified in systems and does tech some things you may not know

that might not even been enough

have you made a game when you were like 14

otherwise why would stem or any college exist?

Music Hannibal

No I haven't, that's something that I'm somewhat worried about as well Hannibal

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki Colleges don't teach you anything. They test your knowledge and hand out credit.

you wont succeed sorry kid. i really hope you do i hope you get a job you truly love and passionate about

If they will expect me to code certain parts for music to be added etc although I know nothing of coding so I wouldn't really know

^

My point exactly

Right. So then what is stem? Few people enter it with full knowledge of all of the field

its really hard to succeed in the industry even if you are skilled

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
