I got my BS in Media Arts and Animation in 2002. I have not worked in the industry since graduation (family issues, moving around a lot, etc), but am ready to sharpen my skills and give it another go. I have been considering getting a master's degree but it's expensive. I have been working on my own trying to create a new demo reel and am studying books to update my skillset to the latest version of the software. Would I be better off going for the Master's or instead doing some continuing ed classes such as Gnomon offers? Any advice on what schools are better than others? Any thoughts anyone has on this would be much appreciated. I have been working in service (waitress/bartender) for the last 8 years and I'm sick of it. I want to put my existing degree to use and I'm excited about actually working in my chosen field (possibly).
Thanks a lot, all, lok forward to hearing from you.
