Diplomas Have Any NO Value in the Film or Music Industries

That's crap. Education means EVERYTHING. Experience means EVERYTHING.


If you don't get educated as to how to do the things that you want to do, then you're pretty lost.



Knowing 150 people means DICK if you don't have the skill set to do anything for them, to even make you WORTH KNOWING.

Education does Not Equal a diploma. A diploma is just a piece of paper. Education comes from Experience. Most producers can't read notation, but are the highest paid. While the ones who can read notation work for those that don't.

Some industries require a diploma, but we are talking Music & Film industries.
A Diploma means NOTHING.

qualifications by themselves maybe not, but the skills you have to have in order to gain those qualifications...definitely.

a lot of people get confused about this and start saying 'but Bill Gates dropped out'...

1. You are not Bill Gates
2. People like that who drop out don't 'drop out', they leave because they feel that they have nothing to learn from the course /have something that needs their full attention right away.

Why wouldn't you want one?. The whole experience to get a diploma is beneficial.

truth right there. btw Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard, not some state university or community college like most of us do.

No...education comes from KNOWLEDGE.


You sit in those classrooms so that you can get EDUCATED by people who have the KNOWLEDGE. Then you go and turn that EDUCATION into EXPERIENCE.




One can ACQUIRE knowledge from some of anywhere...not just a classroom. But a diploma shows that you have fulfilled the requirements of being EDUCATED in a particular field.


It's up to you to turn that EDUCATION into EXPERIENCE.





I'd be a shit ton better at mixing if I had gotten educated in someone's classroom (and gotten a diploma for it), than I am now, trying to learn it on my own over the past 10 years.


Yeah I have EXPERIENCE, but not that muck KNOWLEDGE in mixing.

Wrong^^^

Education comes from Experience. The Knowledge is gained with that Experience. Which brings forth Wisdom.
Education is not simply knowledge. There are alot of people who have learned nothing from their education.

I can become educated by watching a pimp and hoe. How the game work.
Educate simply means to learn.

You do not need a Degree to simply learn something. That is ridiculous.

Remember, we are dealing with these (2)industries for this topic.

Nobody said you need a degree to learn something. Nobody ever implied that in the history of history. Ever.

same can be said of experience too though. just because you've experienced something it doesn't mean you learned something out of it. An example would be repeat offenders going back to jail
