I've decided to quit school.
The course im taking is for audio production, but i've come to find that the course teaches much more than im interested in learning (Post Production stuff mainly) And charge accordingly.
I don't want to be a sound tech, or an assistant engineer, or an engineer or anything behind the console, unless im working on my own work. And the school teaches you everything you need to do that, but it's just overkill with all the excess classes.
Don't get me wrong, I think it's fine that the school is teaching Post Production and all, but it's just not something that I feel I need to know.
Like I said earlier, I don't want to record bands, or voice overdubs, or movie sountracks or game audio or anything like that. What I want to do is make the music with my guitar.
I'm not saying I want to be the next Vai, or be a rock star or anything. I just want to play.
I just feel that paying just shy of 20k for an education that consists alot of stuff i'm not interested in, is a bit much. Also, im honestly not that impressed with the school. They have great gear, SSL consoles out the ying-yang, and great instructors..but they are extremely unorganised with the students and their schedules.
I'll get a refund for my tuition minus the portion that was used, and im going to work to recoup the rest and pay off my line of credit, and take it from there. That shouldn't take all that long honestly. It's only about 4k i'll need to make.
I've yet to break this to my parents, but im sure i'll just get a "I told you so"
Then they'll hate me when I say I plan on going to a 3 year music course. Should be fun ![Yes Way :yesway: :yesway:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/yesway.gif)
