Thanks, I enjoyed the post, and I think it reaffirms the idea of controlling your own destiny. People seem to be missing the point just because they can't see past the post title. You can be whatever you choose to be and you don't need anyone else's permission. If you can show an employer that you produce good work and that you are relentlessly resourceful and tenacious, then why wouldn't you deserve it? Nobody discounts the value of a design school or a computer science degree. But there are other paths, as proven many times over by leaders in the field. In 5 years, imagine how good she'll be, and how little anyone else's opinion will have mattered. (Also, shame on you shitheads with your judgement on her work. Constructive criticism is one thing, being vaguely dismissive is another. No jerks allowed.)
