"Hi, I'm awesomeolion."

This thread has been very informative and helpful, especially for someone like me who is still an amateur and on the young side (16) but looking to break into the Web Design industry as soon as possible.

One question for Goons who hire web designers, is there a best school for web design? As in, if you look at a resume and see a degree from SCAD is that preferable to a degree from Brown or RISD (Rhode Island School of Design)? Is there one school which is far and away the best at teaching the practices of web design?

"Hi, I'm awesomeolion."

I am seeking advice on what would be the best steps to upgrade my skills so I can find paid work.

Right now I am in my last semester in the Digital Media undergraduate program at York University. What I've most enjoyed in school is making HTML5 games (so far using JavaScript, Sheet Engine, and Firebase). However, my skills are limited to basic JavaScript, Java, and C. I have no work experience in coding, game development, or web development.

Are there opportunities for this kind of basic level of proficiency? If not, what steps would you recommend taking so that I can do this type of work and get paid for it?
