Two ways to play!
1- straight up if you wanted to be a shuttled off of this ball of dirt and into a life of luxury and plastic pals who are fun to be with, where do you apply? What courses do you take? What micro and macro skills does one need to acquire, and in what way does the nascent ability, interest, what-else-could-they-be-good-for reveal itself early in life? For the dungeon-dwelling middle management types, er, same, mostly. DeVry? University of Phoenix? Community College? Adult Enrichment through a community center?
OR, option 2- (ok yes this is the actual bouncy brain inspiration for this thread)
As I think of what my career and day job entail (Iām about to be looking again I think, so itās on my mind, though what I want is time and money to return to school ahem), the micro and macro skills of illustration, drawing, painting, cg, various digital etcā¦ along with my traditional backgroundā¦ then with courses in industrial design, animation, illustration, model building, etc etc etcā¦ and hobbyist work with pro friends who are puppeteers etcā¦ got me to wondering, if someone wanted to plot an educational and early career path straight to the SOL (or very similar) as host, mad, evil-lackey-of-the-week, putter-of-words-into-mouths, satellite āmaintenanceā, bot fluffing, etc., then youāve got writing, set, prop, puppet fabrication, production, acting, puppeteering, singing/voice, stage work, etc etc etcā¦
Much like my own background and fields, itās a bit tough to navigate a straight line, everyone takes a different route to so much, but still curious what advice youād give (I know my answersā¦),. How does one minor in snark? Or is that more an elective? And how much poli-sci, philosophy, electrical engineering, and āsummer theaterā do you throw in?
