My ramblings…

Just had the dubious priviledge of being part of an interesting debate on the SIDM forums. For those who don’t know, SIDM stands for School of Interactive Digital Media. Usual complaints of DET students being not recognised by anyone, lousy equipment not up to the student’s standards, SIDM not giving its usual warm welcome to a new member of the family… Frankly speaking, I can’t really be bothered whether DET feels welcomed or not. We are all now under the same roof of SIDM. Get on with it. However, what really got to me was the attitude of some of these DETs. There was an "air" of expectance about them. A very disturbing trend among today’s youths, which I am sadly a part of. We demand everything be given to us. We don’t need to work for anything. Just give me everything I need, so I can get on with the rest of my fucking life comfortably. The world is my oyster and everybody owes me a living. When I graduate with a piece of paper, I EXPECT to get a good job with a good salary, buy a good car and house, marry a good wife and live a good life.

Nobody owes anyone a fucking living. You want your course to be recognised? You gotta produce the results first. You want better computers for your work? There is no way you are going to get it by complaining. Go out and do something. You want to live the rest of your generation y life comfortably? You’ve gotta fucking earn it.
