i havnt been on here a while. staying real busy. Its good to hear what you guys have to say re schools and stuff. Issac, I was in the same place as you a few years ago and it really sucks. but we are young and have plenty of time. in order to stay wiith a career you enjoy you have to do something you really enjoy. and if photo is that thing, go for it and dont look back. but agree with decaying, maybe you could intern in a gallery, or studio, it will probably be unpaid for a while but after a few months, they probably will start paying you. just get some experience, take a lot of pictures. if you know what avenue you want to do, (people, photo journal, advertisment) start building on that, maybe soime mini portfolios. good luck!!!!
some stuff for a buddy of mine
