Updated in December 2011. Looks like some have completed and some of dropped off, the rest are still on my bucket list.
I'd say it's all good but you can scrap-off all that MCT rubbish. Ain't worth the bother!
ReplyDeleteToo funny. An MCT I know just swore MCT is the avenue I need to be taking professionally! Personally, I'd be happiest working at SOE with my boyfriend (as a game programmer not an artist). 3 classes to finish for my undergrad and I may just pursue that dream instead of the MCT!!!
ReplyDeleteMCT is a plus as a lot of other things but it doesn't really mean anything to anyone (unless they are MCTs and in that case they should know in most cases it's not worth the bother). I'd focus on the real thing (and it is indeed what I am doing or trying to do).
ReplyDeleteAs I said It's a plus - so if you have it won't hurt, but its probably a nice to have more than a must-have. Luckily out there you don't need an MCTs to prove you have the skills - otherwise no one would have a job!
