Hi Shaquille,

I looked at your portfolio site and it looks great.
The only comment I can give you is to keep it up. Definitely finish school. I was never able to get a CS degree and there are days I wish I had it. If anything, the letters of your degree give you credibility.
Somehow, having a BFA in studio art does little to convince anyone of my skill set.
Like you, I'm largely self taught, driven and love to learn. Those are the requirements for success. Being open to possibilities also plays a role as well.
I wish you the best of luck in your career.
Regards.
Jason

Hi Jason,

I appreciate your words of encouragement, definitely needed for this catch 22 I’m currently in. I’m going to keep fighting through and will push to go back to school as soon as i can.

Thank you,

Shaquille
