I would not trust photo school earning claims. Yes there are a very few who do really well., but my take on it is that the majority don\'t. At least one major school has been formerly reprimanded twice for using unrealistic figures.
I have a B.A. In English for mthe University of Texas and din\'t start considering photography as a possible career until my senior year, but my real education in the business of photography came from assisting a photographer in Houston, Texas (1981-1984) and taking classes from Jay Maisel (A never ending process that started at The Maine Photographic Workshops in the summer of 1983) .
Jay taught me how to start using my eyes and my brain to start thinking in pictures using light, color and gesture, and Ron Scott taught me how to act like a professional, solve technical problems, and to always, always \"deliver pictures, not excuses.\"
