as i've said all along, a degree is not necessary for most of the arts. Talent does trumpt a formal education everytime.
BUT! As was stated by myself and another person on this thread, if you're going to get a degree, get one in something you're passionate about. Something that gives your heart and soul breath. Something keeps the light in your eyes shining. That's my only point.
IMHO, Katz has more courage and dedication than most people with a high school diploma. I have my reasons for saying that.
Personally, i am going to get my degree. I have three reasons. The first one, I don't have much talent. The second one, I work for a place that is paying for it and they don't care what degrees they pay for. The third, i just want to learn all i can. it's why i post my lame pictures here, why i read all the threads, why i buy as many books as i can find, why i shoot photographs.
i hold the highest respect for each person in this forum, and some envy.
the things i see here just blow me away and drive me to learn more.
