Bob...

A lot of us find more "formal training" on this list than you may find in
the classroom.

I'm sure there's some tools that you'd be much better served with formal
training, but the ones you listed, I would simply recommend creating
projects for yourself or doing some for others to learn the tool.

Trial by fire seems to work quite well, and although it can be
nerve-racking, sleep-deprivating and all-out frustrating...damn, it sure can
be rewarding as all get out, too. Shows a lot about your aptitude, as well,
I'd gather.

My $.02.

Hi,

The recent discussion on rates has prompted this letter.

I am fairly new to the world of multimedia, within the last 6 months. Right
now I am in my final year of Business and Information Systems and am on the
verge hitting the streets for a job. However, after I have had a year or 2
to hack away at my student loan I want to move into web development.

I would like your opinions on what skills/software/etc you think a person
like me should pursue. I am fortunate that my school has copies of Adobe
Photoshop 5, Dreamweaver 1.2, Flash 3 and Fireworks for me to use. I spend
90% of my free time playing with these goodies. Although I have caught on
to these programs quickly, I have no formal training with them. Do you
think I should seek formal training in these or alternate programs? Also,
what software do you people see as invaluable, besides Flash3? ;~)

Any tips, suggestions, or golden rules you people could provide would be
most appreciated. I look forward to your future postings.

Cheers,

Bob
