i started about 10 years ago, all self taught and i have never read a book teaching me ANYTHING.

when you go through the steps yourself you learn much better, but it takes more time obviously.

the thing about going to school is that they will teach you how to design like everyone else, successful designers take years and years to develop and fit a style, something which school cannot teach you.

also if the teachers were half decent at the internet they would not be teaching it in school. the traffic resource to learn "how? and why?" is also not there.

i have a friend who recently finished a 3 year course and cannot find a job anywhere.

unless you were to go into a school with a SOLID motion graphics program imo otherwise you would be wasting your time. (unless it was just for plain knowlegde)
