At least lucky son :D
They still don't teach digital art here, only graphic design like logos, or traditional art.
I was persuaded to go to Art Restoration(fixing art), because painting "doesn't pay bills" and according to some I was not "good enough" to even try Painting entrance exam ( I quit restoration after 2 years, 5 is minimum for diploma).
I should have maybe tried Animation department, as it is a bit more advanced, but still behind other countries. In the end all that matters is good portfolio not diploma :)
