  The only thing I regret about art school is the amount of debt I incurred. I really didn't have a good understanding of things like debt-to-income ratio and what current market salaries were paying when I signed up so when I graduated I was really feeling the weight of carrying around $60k in debt for 2.5 years of schooling.

  However, the experience was incredibly valuable for a lot of reasons and ultimately I have learned to manage debt and finances much more effectively.

  Oh, and I graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design. I can't see any point (yet) to obtain a MFA in a related field other than if i wanted to teach. Unless someone can find me some hard evidence that confirms an MFA gets you a better salary in our industry.
