This is a nice co-incidence. I was just thinking of posting a msg on this topic and there it is.
Yesterday I went and enrolled for a 1 year part-time certificate program in Film making at Ryerson Univ.
The purpose of doing this program is to eventually switch my career to Film industry.
A little abt myself, by education I am a mechanical engineer. I worked as mech engg for abt 2 yrs and changed my career to IT.
Now I am in IT project management. I realized that all this while I have been doing something that I am really not that interested in but had to do for livelihood.
I have always wanted a career in film industry and to make that dream come true I have taken the first step by enrolling for the program.
I am 38 now by the time I finish this program I will be 39 and I hope that it will not be too late to make another career change in my life. . I am really
excited abt this course and it feels so good to be a student again after so many years. Wish me luck guys.
Cheers

Hi rsk12,
Congratulations!
By the way I do have a few questions:
How many hours a week you have to be in class room/study activities?
How much did it cost?
Is there a general course or some specialization within the field?
From which website I can have more knowledge about the course and when the classes start?
Thanks in advance!
