I think it's wise not to go into debt pursuing an education in Photography. You can learn allot on your own and by working along side a successful pro as an apprentice. Few photographers make it "big time", it would be very hard to deal with $100,000.00 in educational debt. As much as I love photography, I could never make 1/2 of what I make with my day job. If I were young, with no one to support I might give it a go, but it would have limited my future financially (especially in my market). There are probably more lucrative careers in other areas of "imaging". Be careful how much stock you put in the comments of friends/family, they want you to be happy (very nice, but the rest of the world only supports results). Good luck!</blockquote>
