i second what OSFA said.
- CALLES0
so your thinking about going back to school?
- OSFA0
dunno my man. Miami Ad School always interested me and wanted to gather more info from actual students or people with experience rather than their brochures and kits.
btw, cp12 is 305?

There is a program in Chicago called The Chicago Portfolio School:
http://www.chicagoportfolio.com/…
Read many good things about it, it's a one year program working with many ad people from agencies in Chicago, making great contacts, working on real-world projects to build your work up.
It is about $13,000 for the year.

(Apr 4 07, 12:02)yes, but also major contacts and exposure.
- johndiggity0
is it worth the loot for a pretty book and some contacts? i think you are better off trying to intern at a great firm for a year for nothing.
