Decided on my Career
molbjerg:
Yeah, a degree from Lincoln isn't worth the toilet paper it's printed on. Did you know that only a few years ago (when I was there) they were actually selling degrees on the internet?
You won't have high level teachers, so no, you don't really benefit other than what you teach yourself. Maybe it's different for your course, but it's not like we were even remotely set up with contacts. It said in the prospectus that it was a sandwich course with a vocational year, but all that actually meant was that: "if you arrange everything yourself, we will allow you to leave university for a year then carry on again".
I got my degree, then spent 2 years unemployed never hearing back from them. I got lucky last year and now I'm a professional animator, but I can honestly say that Lincoln did not help me at all.

Are you making any good money?
molbjerg:
When I was doing freelance I was making good money... £160 a day, but then I took an actual 9-5 job for the experience - and the money for that is ok, but not fantastic by a long shot.
When I go freelance properly in a while I should be at £250-£350 a day. Well, that's the aim anyway.
