This may be of interest. Jim was one of the more talented instructors at Trebas in Toronto in the mid to late 80s. His advice served me quite well. Oh and do not, under any circumstance allow your friend to attend Trebas, because friends don't let friends attend Trebas.
And the part about the biz being somewhat less than glamorous at times, oh so very true. The part about getting some practical experience before going to an 'industry' school, is an absolute must, don't leave home without it.

Outstanding link to Lamarche's blog. He is pretty much bang on with what I know about the state of thngs in Canada right now. We knew how bad Trebas had slipped down the hole when anyone with cred left to go teach elsewhere... see: Harris.RoadDog wrote:http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=191209140&blogID=433617703

Drumwaiter wrote:Hey, Jef... As it turns out, I happen to know who you are talking about. I was talking to her partner last night (we go way back) and if she's really interested in going for it, so should join us on here and become active in this community. It'll set her up well for tons of work this summer. It seems like she's really motivated.
EDIT: Now we're talking...

Hi Keltie! Welcome.
I say this all the time to the up and comers who are just starting out in this business. The things they have going for them as far as resources go is unbelievable compared to when I was fresh out of High School and out in the real world.Jef wrote:...
I would've given my left nut to have opportunities like that when I was her age... now 'tis time to pass on the torch to the next generation. Good luck, Keltie!
