Credentials.?

[freelanceshots]

Now a professional degree from a accredited 4 year college to something totally different. I don't think western academy of photography is a university. I never meant to say that education is a bad thing it just needs to be the proper eduction. I have my BFA and MA degrees from a state university where I also have HUGE school loan payments.

thanks for your thoughts guys.


I still dont know what route im gonna take, but its good to hear that there is'nt just one set way to move up and become a sought after photographer. Has anyone done the online diploma program from http://www.thephotographyinstitute.ca/index.cfm?code=GO&gclid=CKSU8sCfjqECFSJaiAod12 IZPQ


or something simiar? If so are they any good?

Seriously, I think it is best to avoid these online schools that offer diplomas. You would be better off taking photog classes at a community college and attending weekend seminars that established pros offer. And just read as much info and shoot to improve and expand everyday.





If you really want a degree, then attend a nationally accredited state college or university.
