Let's pretend that you could take any course you wanted and it would be taught by any MM member.  What would you title the course and who would be the instructor? 

Here are some courses I'd totally sign up for.

Creative Composites and Color Correction - Robert Randall
Strategic Pawn Shop Negotiation - -Jay-
Beauty Photography and the Contemporary Sublime - Sean Armenta
Introduction to Not Giving a Fuck - Envy
Advanced Not Giving a Fuck - theda
Practical Phoneography SME
Thinking about Art - Artifice

Brian,

Your thread came off as serious stuff, until I saw some of the courses. I understand we aren't supposed to joke around too much in an Industry Forum, but since you're a big shot, I'll join in.

I will teach any course, and heartily recommend myself as the head honcho. Why? 'Cause no one else would ever think to nominate me.

Of course, in a true Catch-22, I also believe in the old Groucho Marx mentality that says, "I would never want to belong to a club that would have me as a member," so I'm not sure where that really leaves me... lol

It's lighthearted, but I'm definitely serious.  I'd love to be better at each of those subjects, and I think each named member would provide excellent instruction.  smile

Pfft leave the crippling anxiety and self doubt to me, thank you very much tongue

On a serious note, I'd volunteer to teach a "believe in yourself" class. Seriously, enough people will doubt you and think you're no good, at least be rooting for yourself.
