Hehe! My sister used to drive a truck. She made a great deal more than I do...
I got into prepress coming from getting a AA in Computer Graphics, then a BA. Coming from the 2-year school was night and day to the 4 year. The 2-year school was taught mostly by working professionals in the design and print industry. Your classmates were often strippers, platemakers and traditional designers who were coming back to night classes to advance their career. The 4-year school was a tricky. Either you got the right professors who could actually teach you something or you got the drunken intern. Your classmates constantly clamored for more time to get things done- usually measured in weeks.
In the end, I felt like they were teaching people less how to be designers and more how to be salesman.
