Nursing school letters of recommendation samples

WH had an emotional affair back in 2021. I was a SAHM and fought him so hard and basically bullied him into ending it because he wouldn’t do it on his own and I was scared/not in an easy place to start over. It took many years, but we were able to work through our issues and become friends again. We’ve learned how to better communicate and work through our problems together for the most part. However, we’ve still decided to split amicably because we’re just very different people and he still can’t tell me some of the things I absolutely need to hear, but that’s not the real issue here. I made a friend at my kid’s school and as we got closer, I met her family and she eventually told me all the problems in her own marriage and how she’d had a PA early on in the relationship then an EA with that same person within the last year and another EA years ago with someone else. She is not remorseful and blames her BS for her actions. WH and I made friends with her BS, but I was the one closer to him. Nothing inappropriate has ever happened between us. New friend and her spouse begin to have issues surrounding previous affairs that have never been fully dealt with and I try to talk them both through it because I know how hard it is and wish someone would’ve been there to help me. Friend and her BS end up separating. She blames me for it because I recommended a book that helped WH and I through things and that caused her BS to realize all the things that were wrong with their relationship. She’s cut contact with me for the most part, but I still talk to her BS and he’s told me how she’s spiraling and becoming more and more emotionally abusive as she doesn’t get her way.
BS eventually told me he thought he liked me more than he should and I told him about limerence. He said he looked into it and he could see why I’d think that and he can see how his wife showed signs of that during her affairs, but he doesn’t think that’s what this is. We’ve tried to distance ourselves, but as things worsen between them, we’ve definitely bonded more and I find myself having feelings for him as well. I know neither of us are in a place to date, but his wife keeps insinuating that something is happening between us and I can’t deny that I am starting to see him as more than a friend. I’m feeling guilty because while his friendship has had no impact on my marriage, I fear my friendship has had an impact on his.
We do keep trying to distance ourselves from one another, but it never lasts long because he really does need the support and I do want to be there for him, but fear my talking to him at all is making things worse. He tells me that he also doesn’t want to stop talking because it’s like letting her win and we shouldn’t verify to her that if she gets abusive enough, she’ll get what she wants. I feel like I’m in a no win scenario. Are we doing anything wrong? Where do I/we go from here?

For example, one automaton planet has mostly light robots, but double or triple the spawn rate. One planet staffs robot bases with double the bots or has increased patrols near bases or bases have a guaranteed tank each or all three. On the bug side, one bug planet can be 3/4 bile spewers. High command recommends auto cannon and grenade launcher. A locust swarm of hunters or a dust storm with hunters gliding through. High command recommends shotguns and fire.
The game feels stale because it's the same patrol/enemy composition in all medium planets. And the same patrol/enemy composition in suicide for all planets...etc.
I'd like to see a little variation besides weather and mission type. Keep us on our toes.
The players love their robot Vietnam's and it's fun when we have multiple Vietnams. Can you imagine a planet that's only stalkers and the only mission is to raise the flag as a very small defend sized map? Could we beat it once, let alone liberate it? If not a whole planet, maybe this IS the mission.
What if we mixed it up every 3 months? Boom, they hit that reset button again. People don't figure out a map after the first time, they have to play it many times until they figure out the ins and outs completely. This naturally keeps it fresh while presenting a unique challenge for longer.
I do have a pause for warning though. I don't actually want spawn compositions randomized. That would be horrible except for maybe 1 bot and bug planet that's completely random, randomized each game, for those epic sharable videos of whatever you can imagine because it's literally random every game, so it's possible. Back on track, what I'm trying to say is say you have 253 planets. You give 200 employees 1 planet each to do what they want and they're going to compete the fuck out of it. They'll be offering to make custom models, textures, features for free on the weekends. Oh and Charger Joel gets 50. I get 3 because this idea is brilliant. If Joel sees certain planets being played more, there can be a promotion and demotion of planet makeups each season and shuffled around. This allows the community to experience new planet holders or search for which planet got the fan favorite old school malevelon Creek template.
A concern is Arrowhead thought of this and determined it would be too difficult for the players to adapt that often. (Or you can buff the guns or reduce strategem time on harder composition lobbies)
This was a fun one I came up with while writing this:
Planet affect: alien dust reduces all gun fire rate-over time, recoil handling increased-over time. High command recommends heavy machine gun for planet. If you survive with the gun until max fire rate penalty, your recoil handling is so high, you now have a gattling sniper. Everyone needs a little godmode.
Imagine the community when they find out about gattling sniper planet, and the streamers showing you the best planet you're not landing on. Fml, we probably don't need those videos in our lives, but I want these ideas in my game.

Hi everyone!
I'm posting on behalf of a friend who could use some advice. She just finished post-secondary school with Economics and Accounting A-levels. She's now trying to decide between pursuing the ACCA course or a B.Com degree at university.
She’s super cool and incredibly smart (not just saying that because she’s my friend!), and she wants to keep her career options open, rather than being limited to just accounting.
Has anyone here done either ACCA or a B.Com, and what career paths did you end up pursuing? What was your experience like, and which option you'd recommend?
All advice would be super appreciated! <3

I'm a bisexual and I haven't told everyone, but I sense that they know I like girls because my actions are somewhat boyish and my voice sounds like a man. I've never been in a relationship.
Here's the story: When I entered my first year of college, I became curious about a girl whose name I heard a lot. She was somewhat popular because she participated in many extracurricular activities and was an officer in the ssg. I had a secret crush on her but it faded because I didn't see her every day, as she was a nursing student and often had duties in the hospital. Now, in my fourth year of college, I have become close with one of my classmates and ito palang si cm ay magbestfriend sila ni crush. I see her occasionally dahil si cm at si crush will greet each other and chitchat kunti and so yung feelings ko ni crush bumalik. So there's one time na kami ng cm ko bumili ng snacks at andon siya, nag chika² sila at ako kain lang with sulyap². When she needs to go, she always says goodbye only to my classmate but for the first time, she also said goodbye to me even though she didn't know my name. Kinilig talaga ako non. After 2 days sabi ng cm na my crush find me beautiful daw at ako na shock at kinilig na naman like OMG. For how many days I kept my courage to add her on fb, I finally added her and luckily she accepted me. Nung nagkita kami ng cm ko sa school sabi niya sa akin na kinilig daw si crush when I add her at sabi pani crush na panindigan ko daw yung kilig niya hahaha. My cm tease me about it na bakit ko daw inadd. So when my birthday comes, I decided that I will chat her na. I waited to see if she would greet me, but it is already 10 pm hindi niya pa ako ginigreet so I take the first move to chat her na igreet niya ako and luckily hindi pa siya tulog so she greet me, hindi ko talaga alam paano magchat² first time eh. We chat shortly because we need to sleep na dahil meron kaming activity bukas at sabi ko sa kanya na baka mahiya ako sa kanya bukas dahil sa pinag gawa2 ko. Nung nag.attend na kami ng activity namin for 2 days we never talk just smile to each other kapag nagkasalubong kami. I really want to talk to her but I don't know how and palagi kasama niya mga friends and cm niya baka magtaka. Nung pauwi na kami I feel really sad dahil minsan na kami magkikita dahil gagraduate na kami sa June and I've come to realize that I really like her. I want to get to know her better and I want her to be my girlfriend pero hindi ko alam paano to mangyayari. Palagi kong inisip na paano ko na naman ichat² siya and na isip ko rin sa sarili ko na baka na gandahan lang talaga siya sa akin. It is the first time I am feeling this way and there is an eagerness to take a risk. Please help me guys on how to make this girl mine.

There's 100s of applications GPT-4o enables. I'll cover a few of them (9 to be exact) below. Gotten them from Open AI's blog & various sources.

1. Language Learning

Duolingo Stock fell by $65 in the last 5 days. That should tell you the entire story.
Duolingo Stock
For context, Duolingo is a language-learning app. Now GPT-4o can easily translate terms in other languages by just pointing it to the ChatGPT's Camera.
This is massive if you want to travel globally as a nomad. You don't have to know a language now. You can just translate on the fly in any random country.
The accuracy won't be 100% but it would be close enough. And the AI keeps improving.

2. Solving School Problems For Students

I wish I had this in school. Learning could've been more efficient and faster.
Most students fear asking questions because they feel it might be dumb. Now you can ask ChatGPT any dumb question.
It even solves math problems for the Salman Khan's (founder of Khan Academy, not the actor) Kid.

3. Bed Time Stories For Kids

Since ChatGPT can talk now with a humourous and sultry voice, you can use it to tell stories to kids. It can be used in the voice of their parents or grandparents.
You can even use a Soft Toy that does the talking to the kid. Earlier, there used to be toys that did that but it only spoke the same sentence. Now it can do back and forth.
You can make special toys that teach kids letters and alphabets. Target it to 2-3 year olds.
Hat tip to Whyme-__- for the Bed Time idea.

4. Be My Eyes For The Blind

Best damn use-case for the blind. Now using a Phone is a bit too much for this but when smart glasses come, every blind person will have a walking companion.
The future is great for the blind.

5. Be My Friend

Too many people are lonely nowadays thanks to technology. It can be a boon for some but a con for others.
You can build a specialized app that gets you an AI Friend since you can talk to it now and it can talk back, it will be great.
I am 100% sure Therapy AI will be much better now with Audio/Video integration. In future, we will have fully featured Robots like Tesla's Optimus and Figure that will have such functionalities built-in.
I bet this comes in <2 years judging by the pace at which AI and Robotics are accelerating.

6. Comic Books

Now that text can be easily created with ChatGPT, why not create Comic Books easily.
Its a huge creative exercise for comic creators. Webtoons have exploded in popularity and many KDramas are made out of them like Death's Game and Marry My Husband.
This will increase the creativity exponentially.

7. Font Creations

Fonts are expensive. Like really expensive.
Funnily enough ChatGPT can create fonts easily now. Take the most popular fonts, tweak them a bit, and create entire new sets of fonts.
Look at the creations explode on Creative Market. Font directories like Typewolf can now create their own fonts easily as they already have distribution.
Open AI GPT-4o Text to Font

8. Brand Placements

It solved for Brand Placements too.
You can put your brand in places you never imagined without using too much effort.
Open AI GPT-4o Brand Placement

9. Poster Creation for Movies or TV Series

Posters are hard to get right but as you know there are only finite variations.
Open AI GPT-4o Movie Posters
You can fine-tune it on popular movie posters and solve Poster Creation once and for all.
Open AI GPT-4o Poster Creation
What use-cases can you come up with? Give me your best ones.

Okay so I’ve always been enrolled into fasfa since 2017 just never attended college until this year.

Hi everyone!
I'm planning to move to the US to obtain my Master's in Industrial-Organizational Psychology next year. I'm pretty set on NY as I've heard great things about Baruch & Montclair State, and would like to maximize my chances of networking with others in a big city - hopefully securing a job there in the long-term. I'm currently researching schools in other states, but it's become quite overwhelming as I'm not super familiar with all the different cities and the reputation of most schools.
I want to explore all my options and cast a large net when it comes to applying in the case I'm not successful in NY. For this reason, I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to share their recommendations for I-O Master's programs + schools? I'd also be very appreciative of anyone with general grad admissions advice for an international applicant like myself.
For reference, my undergrad gpa was 3.36 and during a year of graduate study my gpa was 4.0 (both in psych). I've been working as a research assistant for the past year - not related to I/O Psych. GPAs are not predominantly used in my country, so if anyone could shed light on my odds of getting in that'd be helpful to know! Also, if taking the GRE would be advised to help boost my application? despite it being waived by a lot of schools. Sorry for the long post, thanks everyone :)

i (17f) have been like struggling for years with my mental health: mood swings, derealisation, self harm, paranoia, depression, anxiety, self destructive behaviour, believing people are plotting against me and trying to poison me, unstable sense of self image all symptoms of borderline personality disorder, and it could be plausible as a have a very emotionally manipulative and abusive mother. i asked for help at the age of like 14 where i was referred to camhs, i told them about my low moods, self harm, suicidal thoughts ect, who proceeded to put me on a waiting list. 2 and a half years later, i receive a letter saying they’d like me to come in for a session, the day came along i went in with them i had one family therapy session and they proceeded to get social services involved due to my mum shouting at me which just made the way my mum treats me so much worse and she was angry for speaking up. i don’t wish for any kind of intervention to happen between me and my mum as i will be moving out next year to live with my boyfriend (18m) and don’t feel safe enough to report her behaviour, but like after different talking therapies within school and college and none of them helping, after trying every single self help technique in the book nothing is helping and nothing has ever improved, today i went to a gp appointment to see if they could put me on medication or anything because i can barely cope any longer, and after me telling her how i feel she dismissed everything i said by saying ‘aw it’s okay’ after me telling her about my self harm for example, she told me she’d book a appointment with the mental health specialist within the practice for in a few hours time, then i receive a call saying the specialist won’t be able to see me because i’m under 18, then that was the end of that. i think i want medication but im not sure, i have really strong anxiety surrounding taking medication because im worried ill turn into a zombie and loose everything about myself, but i’ve tried every other option which hasn’t worked, so im at my last resort, but apparently no one will take my mental health seriously so i just don’t know what to do with myself and if i can even access anything that will help

Questions about stat decs and de facto
Hello! I have a few questions. Me (Aussie citizen) and parter (UK on WHV in aus) are in the process of collecting our documents for 820 application.
Question 1: do stat decs need to be less than 6 weeks old when submitted in the application? - we have one from our old boss stating that we lived together in work accommodation but it’s from September 2023 signed by a local nurse and we are applying in September 2024- so it’s a year old. Is that okay, or does he need to do a new one just before we apply?
Question 2: how can we prove we live together other than just stat dec from company manageowner? - We both live on an island (in a couple room together) through work accommodation for over 12 months. We don’t pay bills only rent that comes out of our individual payslips. Due to the nature of the place we live, postal service was not available in the first 6months so we did not list it as our address and instead both got stuff sent to my parents house (which we could collect when we visited them). Once postal services commenced we got mail to the island again. Long story short- we’ve both received mail to the same address but to different addresses at different times that doesn’t match up with where we were living. I’m just worried this is confusing and I don’t know how to explain it to a case officer but we really need the mail as proof of shared residency. My drivers license and passport has my parents home address which doesn’t help either. How else can we prove we live together without lease or bills? I love our lifestyle but it’s not normal so much harder to prove
Question 3: did you write your statements (say for nature of household or commitment etc) on a stat dec? It doesn’t really have much room on the paper to write details? Do u type it directly into text box on the application or just all attachments formatted as a ‘presentation’ of sorts with photos and highlighting?
Question 4: can we apply for a double grant? Defacto start date 30 Jan 2023, so been living together for 20 months. I know the requirement is 3 years but it’s discretionary? Could we ask nicely in the cover letter? Or is that ridiculous
I just keep reading so much conflicting information that I feel like I am starting from square one again!

I actually wanted to cry when I left the appointment yesterday, my doctor seemed to be very knowledgeable and the first half of the appointment she just asked questions and listened. I asked the nurse if they see a lot of people with PCOS and she said oh yeah, so that made me feel a bit relieved. The only thing I’m a little confused on is that my doctor was pretty matter of fact that it is due to insulin resistance and we got my free insulin checked, I just got the results back and it’s 10.8, which seems pretty normal. I wasn’t fasting but I’d had a protein shake at 8:30, a cup of yogurt at 10:30 and the blood was probably taken at 1:45, she said that was good because she wanted to see how my body reacted to food. Ive been in metformin, now at 1000mg a day, for almost 4 weeks and I’ve lost almost 6 lbs with moderate walking and using my fitness pal to track macros. She basically told me I need to eat like a diabetic for the rest of my life. She recommended the Mediterranean diet and to stay around 30 net carbs per meal. Another improvement is my DHEA was 565 when I first got it checked in January (now May) and it is down to 522.

One pill,
two pill,
Everybody wait,
Once it kicks in,
I'll be chill.
Oh, shit,
Too late,
Here comes the hate.
Another dunce set me off,
Time to make this square my date.
Fuck you,
To get through,
I gotta be blunt and true.
You want me to stop being a nihilist prick,
Start doing shit,
That doesn't make me sick.
You want the world
(To be a better place).
Stop being the blood letter
that sprays your enemies down with mace.
I'm the bad guy,
Who never had a better option
Than to die.
'Be what you want to see',
Well,
Ok,
all I want is to see you fucks covered in pee.
So,
Here we go,
Tic tac toe,
Off the deep end we go.
Suzanne,
you are a bad girl,
And all your bullshit makes the boys want to hurl.
Mike,
Mike,
drop the fuckin' mic.
Stop truckin' along,
everyone wants you to to plug your mouth,
like it's a dike.
Both of you can spray rose scented perfume,
Rainbow tinted glasses,
Falling in line to pretend you descented before your doom.
Heaven ain't gonna look too fondly,
On how you switch feet so promptly.
Oh, look, the winds changed,
Now those leading
were the previously deranged.
The booze ain't gonna stop me
Envisioning stepping to the noose,
Hanging myself dead,
Instead of cutting myself loose.
But it will let me fire earned shots at you,
Making sure the liar
Catches each clip that's burned through.
I'm tired.
High and wired.
Ever been so up,
You have been down?
So turned off,
You basically have to stare at her gown?
To try to check if your heart still beats,
Even as these fools get up from their seats.
Tools,
These thoughts are aimed your way,
Fireworks tour,
You'd better pray.
Carly,
Carly,
Always so obsessed with a Harley,
Got yourself a bad man,
His breath always smells like barley.
Don't whine to me about the result.
You are the one kneeling to a stereotypical cult.
And it's reciprocal.
It ain't my fault
you found his leathers so climbable.
Hey,
Franky,
Let's play.
I hate you, frankly.
Took the bait
And went off to school,
Congrats,
Now you are just another educated tool.
Sorry, I meant to say fool.
I went off record,
the way you always despised,
How I made you look silly in front of the other guys.
I mean,
I had to give your little runt a punt,
I always loved the snarky types who hated when someone was blunt.
I think the euphoria may be kicking in,
I wanna get off the hate tour,
And say from now on,
I'll be sticking to sin.
Sex sex sex,
Can't write that shit into poetry,
Or they'll call it a hex
And look at you like you're such a vex.
Whoa,
you never grew from your abuse?
Stow it,
We have no time for a truce.
Your words aren't merry?
Excuse us,
This is about to get hairy.
Noses up,
Each and every one,
Bring the hoses,
We need to sterilize him before he can run.
You hypocrites make me shudder,
Zip your lips,
When you talk out both sides of your mouth,
You stutter.
Either walk the walk,
Or silence yourself before you squawk.
I know
I'm a demon,
But I will also always be a free man.
And that is what is important,
Not you telling me what I can and can't.
Listen,
little Sally,
You should free yourself from these sycophants,
Without dally.
Jimmy,
you are growing so big,
Leave this town before the adults demand that you take a swig.
Their poison runs deep,
Their illusion must always continue to seep.
It's a crazy train,
Lead by vanity and pain.
They'll make anyone who doesn't play along,
The enemy and the bad man.
They chase them off,
So that they can't spread the blashemy again.
Some day,
You may learn to trust the cynic.
They are the ones who came up bust,
Because they saw through the trick.
It is often the angriest person you know,
Who once had the most hope.
The happiest person,
Who winds up swinging from the rope.
That is what happens
When they choose to crush hope,
Numb your mind with the dope.
And scream bloody murder when you call them out,
They say all you know how to do is pout.
But,
What happened is,
The innocent went off the rails,
Saw the fiction in the heaven sent,
And refused to follow their well trodden trails.
Not being beholden to their twisted dreams,
Doesn't mean you are the one with the wretched schemes.
Walk away,
There is no reason to talk, or stay.

Hello there! As the title says, I'm looking for a really fantastic person to talk to and get to know. I've been single for a while finishing up a grad school degree and I'm trying to look for a potential relationship in the near future, since living in the middle of nowhere for a while wasn't exactly a good way to meet people 😂
Little about me i suppose - 6'1, try to work out when i can, go on (short) hikes to clear my mind - its truly relaxing. But I'm more of an introvert. Usually enjoy staying in and watching tv shows (Psych is the most underrated show), learning to cook food like they do on masterchef that I'm totally not addicted to, and other forms of entertainment consume my free time. Lately I've been reading a lot - recommend me a good story if you've got a favorite!
Anyhow, tell me a bit about yourself! Preferably looking for someone on the east coast US, and/or someone who is looking for something that may lead to something serious one day.

I just keep reading so much conflicting information that I feel like I am starting from square one again!

My ex left (discarded) about a month ago, which was the 3rd time in the last year. We had been together for 4yrs up until that point, in which the first few years were the idealization stage. She wanted to spend every minute with me and sex was flowing. Looking back there were episodes all of the time but the repairs were so quick it became normal. Then the year before the first time we left I noticed a big shift. Mostly in regards to sex. She would make comments how it hurt or she would try to avoid it. Fast forward to the end of that year and she cheated with someone from an app that lived 1200 miles away. They started a long distance relationship and she left. 2 months after she left she came back and we gave it another go but intimacy was a big issue. She said she wanted to have sex with me but couldnt for some reason. We would try but she would get uncomfortable and want to stop. After 2 months she left to be with the guy and oddly enough the day before she left we had the most intense passionate sex and she told me how much she loved me and was crying during it. I felt totally blindsided. This time I swore I was done and went no contact. I found out through my daughter she was trying to introduce the long distance guy to her on facetime and at that point I broke no contact to ask her to talk. She ended up coming over to discuss how we should introduce people to our daughter and she ended up catching feelings again and long story short we gave it another go. It started off ok but quickly realized we still had intimacy issues but everything else was fine. She always wanted to cuddle and hang out so it seemed like she was ok with childlike affection but couldnt kiss or have sex. Our couples counselor said to be patient and focus on connecting without sex but after 6 months she left again and of course shes talking to this guy once more. I went as no contact for the last month and then yesterday i attended a school function for our daughter and she was there with her family who loves me. I made it a point to stand far away and then she walked over to me and asked to talk. I declined but then afterwards she asked again and its very hard to resist so I obliged. She told me how she wished we could work but that she needs to heal and then asked "if you were dating someone else and I wanted to come back would you leave them" lol.
We then spoke for an hour after the event and in the moment I was caught up but held my ground and said im sorry but you left our family 3 times. I told her how I dont hate her and I know she does the things she does to absolve the pain. These relationships are such a cruel trick because when youre with the person (at least in my case) its not obvious that there's something wrong. My ex was diagnosed at 15 but now she thinks she doesnt have it or that was an incorrect diagnosis. She's also very young (early 20's) so its tough to discuss BPD with her. I did say if there was a path back to us she would have to attend this inpatient program recommended by our couples counselor but even then it wouldnt make much of a difference.
The point of this post was to reiterate no contact is the best way to heal and going forward im going to avoid her unless absolutely necessary even if that means missing some events. I regret even mentioning theres a path back to being together because in a couple of months I wont want that. Even now I realize how sick it is to want that with someone that treats you poorly.

'm currently in the Retail Management (BComm) program at TMU, but I've heard mixed reviews about it. My original passion was tech, but my high school grades weren't high enough to get into a tech program. Would you recommend switching to a tech program at Seneca (preferably a 4-year one) or retaking a couple of high school classes and reapplying to a better tech program at TMU?

Hey guys, i’m in highschool rn so i just want some good romcoms that are specifically on crunchyroll. I’d prefer if it was a high school setting, just wanna relate to something.
I’ve already watched a few, like The angel next door, romantic killer & more than a married couple. Aswell as most of A Sign of Affection.
Any recommendations?

Hi, our little one is going to be 9 years old in August and is due for a new bike. So far he has ridden exclusively woom bikes. He currently rides a woom 4 original (20") which is far too small by now. He is 56in (142cm) tall and has an inseam of 26in (66cm). He is very comfortable on a bike.
Our initial idea was to go to a 24", but based how much he has grown and how long he has ridden his current bike, the idea is to move up to 26" and skip the 24". I would like to do this to also make sure he has not outgrown his new bike by next year already. He mostly uses his bike to ride to school or visit his friends in the neighborhood. We sometimes go on trail rides together, but that is probably it. No "real" mountain biking.
We liked the lightweight about the woom bikes. This is also what made us buy the bikes in the first place. I think the quality is solid, but not great. He would like to have a mountain bike next. I read that at this size / weight, especially if you do not go nuts, suspension is a waste of money. At the price I am looking at (see below), the components are probably not great and only add weight.
Based on our history with woom, I naturally looked there first. The woom off 6 looks like a solid choice. The current price is ~ $850 which is probably the max we would like to spend.
So two questions:

1. Is moving to 26" the right decision?
2. Which other bikes / brands can you recommend for our needs that provide good quality for the budget?

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone!
I'm an international student who has recently been accepted into the Character Animation program at University of the Arts London (UAL) - Central Saint Martins and the 3D Computer Animation program at Bournemouth University. Now, I'm facing a tough decision: which one should I choose? Which program offers better employment prospects in the UK?
I'm hoping to hear your thoughts and recommendations. Perhaps you have experience studying at either of these institutions, or maybe you're knowledgeable about employment opportunities in these fields in the UK. Either way, your insights would be invaluable in helping me make this decision.
Both character animation and 3D computer animation interest me greatly, but I want to pick a program and school that will set a strong foundation for my career development in the UK.
Looking forward to hearing from you all!
Thanks in advance!
