decksnap said:It's funny because from what I've seen there is a lot of the opposite going on. Schools popping up all over the place offering 2 year design degrees and other such crap, that are basically teaching uncreative people how to use design software. Then these people get out of school thinking they are designers because they know how to use Quark.
This is a huge problem as of late. It seems like design is now the main choice of the "I'm not interested in anything and can't decide what I want to major in/do with my life, but hey design looks cool" people. As a result the market is oversaturated with a bunch of "designers" who have never been into any type of creative art before starting their design schooling. You can't teach creativity and originality.
Just my little rant...
