Emma Coats ‏ @ lawnrocket 21 Apr Nobody's going to look at your grades - they look at your portfolio.

Beyond meeting people, you've gotta push yourself past what the school asks @ lawnrocket it's also important to note that just going to an art sch isn't enough. You have to get involved/engaged to build relationships. And talking about networking: Don't be a jerk, value your time & others', remember to network at YOUR level too, not just upwards. Also don't be a sleazeball please. Networking is just a fancy word for making professional friends. Chris Cookson ‏ @ coldmilk 21 Apr

And you don’t even need all three! Two out of three is fine. People will tolerate how unpleasant you are if your work is good and you deliver it on time. People will forgive the lateness of your work if it is good and they like you. And you don’t have to be as good as everyone else if you’re on time and it’s always a pleasure to hear from you." Neil Gaiman Addresses the University of the Arts Class of 2012 from The University of the Arts (Phl) on Vimeo .

Rather than focusing on a narrow career path, Ronin build a wide-range of skills, multiplying the career options they can chose from.
