Where\u2019d you go to school?\u00a0 Savannah?\u00a0 Parsons?\u00a0 Ringling?\u00a0 The Art Institutes of Blank?\u00a0 Awesome, that\u2019s a great start.\u00a0 I assume you have mastery of one or several Adobe programs?\u00a0 Excellent, that\u2019s good to know.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well guess what?\u00a0 None of that means absolutely shit when you\u2019re in the\u00a0REAL\u00a0<\/strong>working world, because 90% of the jobs you\u2019ll be doing on a regular basis in working America will involve you primarily working with Microsoft Office products!\u00a0 The holy grail of computer software, that can do absolutely\u00a0nothing<\/span>\u00a0everything for absolutely\u00a0nobody<\/span>\u00a0everyone!!!!!!!<\/span><\/p>\n

Adobe InDesign may have trounced Quark as the standard within the\u00a0Creative<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0class when it comes to layout and publishing, but in the\u00a0Corporate<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0class, InDesign isn\u2019t even worthy enough to take the soiled tissues that the almighty\u00a0POWERPOINT <\/strong>uses to wipe its ass, and drop it into the toilet for it.\u00a0 I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it\u2019s the sad and unfortunate truth.\u00a0 PowerPoint is the crown jewel of software greatness, as it\u2019s WAY \u201ceasier\u201d than Flash at embedding\/playing video files, and so MUCH more \u201cefficient\u201d when it comes to creating forms and performing layout tasks!!<\/span><\/p>\n

Adobe Photoshop may be an efficient tool amongst you nerds for making your memes and cheezeburgers, editing pictures of cats and putting esoteric jokes on top of existing graphics, but when it comes to true graphic design excellence, look no further than\u00a0MICROSOFT WORD<\/strong>\u00a0as the gold standard when it comes to getting shit done.\u00a0 It only takes a genius level intellect to realize that none of the functions are decipherable without the assistance of Google to look up how the most logical of ideas are executed.\u00a0 Word does everything.\u00a0 Photoshop can only crank out lame jokes, while Word CAN WRITE.\u00a0 Not only can it write, it comes with a library of pre-existing CLIP ART which are fail-proof when it comes to accentuating points and messages.\u00a0 And you can drag and drop graphics from the internet RIGHT INTO Word, without needing to concern yourself about copyrights and photographic rights!<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s cute that you guys went to art school or have a wealth of experience when it comes to using \u201cdesign pro-grams,\u201d but let\u2019s get real, you guys.\u00a0 If you want to make it in the\u00a0real world,\u00a0<\/strong>you got to be able to use the almighty Microsoft products in order to get there.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
