I went to the GA open house. The alumni all had exceptionally mediocre jobs. Later that week I had coffee with a programmer friend who basically said “trying to get a job with GA certificate is trying to compete with Harvard grads using a HVAC repair certificate.”
Seems like a good idea but doesn’t payout over time
I went the grad school route and it had a big payout for me. I was able to get a degree from an accredited school and use my work tuition benefits to avoid debt.
Grad school where companies you want to work for go to recruit. I'd use GA to learn a secondary skill to make myself more marketable, or to learn enough coding to do my own thing.
Alumni networks are veryyy powerful
@ senior art director 1 : yeah that was one of my concerns. I come from A-list agency in new york and I only saw one person from GA. Rest were from CMU
Thanks everyone!!
