    If the main goal is to make money. Intern and assist with a good photographer that you want to learn from. This will help more than a degree. You don't get photo jobs by showing your degree, just a good portfolio. A school portfolio can be spotted a mile away too. I enjoyed getting my photo degree, but it was mostly for the interaction and critique of other students and professors. When I graduated it didn't help me get a job.
