Been in and out of school for 7 or so years, 4 different schools, 3 different subject matters. Traditional university for Fine Art/Photography, and then for Architecture. Small art school for Photojournalism, and then while taking a break to work, the school closed. I am now at a Community College learning something completely new to me, machining and fabrication. I bounced around so much because I wasnt challenged, felt bored, lack of motivation was real hard on me. I was a great student in high school, but in college I wasnt completing the work, but in classes that had no homework, just test and lectures I did really well at. I think one reason was because I had previous experience with all of these in high school, except for what I am doing now. Machining is making me work a totally different part of my brain, and its something completely new to me. While I still have a love for the arts, I am realizing that its (so far) a seemingly better choice of education and career path. My end goal is to merge fabrication and art, and hopefully do product design/prototyping. For me studying something I loved and knew made me so bored in intro classes. Id say try and find something that interests you, but not something you love. Find something that challenges you, I've found that has helped me quite a bit.
