I hope this post also goes towards anyone that's graduated from animation or art school! What a joyous time indeed.
As for me, I think taking a year off unintentionally from school ended up being worth it. I got to blow off some stream, relieve some stress, and really think about what I wanted to study. There's quite a lot now that I didn't know last year and I'm just fortunate I'm not in massive debt right now.
If I could do it over again, I probably would have gotten a certificate in a specific skill last summer like welding from an accredited school that would take about a semester to complete, taken a semester off and worked for a bit, then gone to college and go from there to study mechanical engineering.
Roberto: Welding!? That would have been great! I like the way you think. You're academic but you're interested in real world things, too. That's a great combination!
I don't doubt the year off was good for you. You're probably more nuanced, more worldly (in a good sense), more of an individual than you were a year ago. You'll bring something valuable to the class and won't just be a passive student.
Graduated last December. Got a BFA - Graphic Design. Still not sure what to do with it.
Graduating's pretty liberating, tho. I finally have time to do stuff that I couldn't do when I was still in college. My final semester was really, really stressful.
Brubaker: Here's an off-the-wall idea: join the Army or the Navy as a graphic artist. That's a four-year enlistment, but it panned out for some famous cartoonists and illustrators.
If you join less than a year after graduation from college, they'll probably give you a shot at Officer Candidate School.
It's probably a stupid idea, but I thought I'd pass it on. Lots of civilian situations favor recently graduated students, but some of the opportunities dry up after a year. Talk to an employment agency about it, and have a portfolio to show.
