Re: Bad Advice

(Anonymous) 2013-12-10 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
I can see how that kind of thinking could adversely affect someone. But I also think it's taking filial piety to insane levels to follow such advice when it's not only against your inclination, but against every word of advice anyone else would be likely to give you.

The reasons you give for not getting your license, for instance, sound pretty flimsy. I mean, you couldn't go to the DMV because that meant missing school...seriously? The DMV was closed all summer? Your whole life, year-round, consisted of studying sixteen hours a day?

As for professional communication, including phone conversation--it isn't some mysterium tremendum: it's just communication. And since when are communication and practical experience not part of a design curriculum? This is what reviews or presentations--which are designed to teach you the kind of communication skills that carry over into job interviews and proposals--are for. Plus, I can't imagine an adviser who would not urge you to apply for internships.

TBQH, it's sounding like your parents' advice was more of an excuse for not doing things that you already didn't want to do.
