[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 459781, member: 13090"] I don't mean to say any one thing will, or does, work for everyone. I said a formal education in photography tends to make people better photographers because in my fifteen years at this college, I've seen formal education make people better photographers. I've also seen it *not* work for a lot of people. My point was, and still is, a formal education in photography will make you a better photographer, generally speaking. I'm not saying that. I'm not saying a college degree prepares you for every possible situation as a professional; I said formal education in photography helps make most people better photographers. And I fully agree there's no substitute for experience. Nothing I was taught in college prepared me for managing failures, cockups and regular firefighting on my job either; that came with experience. By the same token, much of what I did learn in college helped me figure out and subsequently implement appropriate solutions when I found myself faced with a failure/cockup/"fire".
