    If you pick a good school (aka the professors have actual careers and want concepts instead of just pretty pictures) you'll be able to develop your creative process... the technical aspects of photography are fairly easy to learn, besides you'll always have assistants for that in the business world.

    I went to Concordia in Montreal and really liked it, it's more of a degree where you learn the fine arts side of things... we spent no time on technical crap, just resolve those problems as needed by your projects. In the end I feel the training I got was more of an art director role than a photographer role... so now I hire photographers that went to technical schools to tell them what pictures I want.

    • and like I said, where else are you gonna practice on a Sinar P3 as much as you want =)zarkonite
