Just wondering if anyone here has a degree in Fine arts and if so was it worth it? I've looked over the curriculum and the things the program will offer me over 4 years but 4 years is a long time and a lot of money to dedicate and I'm wondering if I'd be better off attending something other than a University to get the training I need (not as much training though as it is having a label on my name, but it's the new millenium so that's how this stuff goes down now ).

Anyways before I enroll just wondering if anyone has any advice or if I should go for something other than fine arts. I know ppl will tell me to do what I want or what I feel is right lol but seriously I want to work in digital art/animation, not something this course offers but I've read time and again that it's the basics that I should learn not the use of photoshop...but I don't want to learn that that's wrong 4 years later or I'll be forced to bash my face in

Well, I'm going to pimp the school I'm going to, The Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale. It's part of Art Institutes International, so there is probably a school near you. I'm going for a bachelor in computer animation, but they have an associate degree too (shorter) You basically start out with drawing human anatomy from models, perspective, color application, and traditional cell animation before you get into the computer aspect. It's good to know the traditonal way because there are alot of people doing computer animation that don't know square one about dynamic movement, etc. if you ever see those computer animated shows that are popping up on tv alot you'll see what I mean, good models but crappy animation. It's an expensive school but they train you to be marketable.
