Not everyone gets a chance to do something good. And we never given people who are trying to do a good job and busting their behinds trying to get things done a negative vibe, so why are you knocking us? I had to work 3 jobs, finish my High School, and show up to Homeboyz everyday, an in a milwaukee winter and no car that was no fun. We all have to pay our dues. You think that just because we get a chance to making something of ourselves we get the easy road. Even now I am trying to finish paying of my bill from college so I can get my trascipts to go to another school. Don't think that this comes easy. There a lot of people in this program that are busting thier but working a third shift job and coming to train here. I don't want to sound like I am complaining I just want you to relieze that we all have our hard time in life.
We just aren't teaching HTML. HTML is just the first 2 weeks of training. A students has to learn Javascript, CSS, Php, Java, MySQL, System Administration..... and for the designers they can learn things design fundamentals, Photoshop, After Effects, Flash animation and Action Scripting, Director Lingo.....
Stop thinking that we can't hold our own weight we earned the amount we make by the work we do.
ME.:) I have been in the program for about 4 years now. But just for the record:
I have never sold drugs.
I have never Drank a forty.
I have never joined a gang.
I never got in a fight. Well once in grade school because I wore to different colors socks. I got made fun of so bad.
But I did make it through college.
I make 40k a year, with out doing anything illegal.
Won an award in Communication Arts for working on the Burton website.
I am designer so I know mostly graphic apps, but I do know:
HTML, Javascript, ASP, PHP.
I have worked on clients like:
HP
Victoira Secret
Baynetworks (If you can remember them)
Trek Bikes
Northwestern Mutual
Burton Snowboards
Sun Microsytems.
I also help out at my local church(Catholic) to help kids that are gettin' in to bad situations find themselves a way out. I was never a bad kid I just didn't know what was out there for me to do. Thanks to the program I now have a future. And don't waste my time with negative actions or words. What if you had no where to go, no one to help, and Homeboyz was around to help you. People need to look at this in another light. Gang bangers or any other person, we all have been through hard times in life, don't knock us for trying to change.
Why don't you take a look at your lives and see what you can find that is wrong. You can always cast the first stone, but when the stone is facing you what can you do?
