"Reply to OT: Degree in Photography?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-17 14:03:26

Alright so I figured since this assort is made up of thousands of photographers both amateur and professional this would be a great displace to ask. I'm currently going to college for a Bachelors of Fine Art in Photography but just recently open out that I could probably get away with just an Associates of Art degree. I'm wondering what everyone's act is on a degree in Photography and how much its actually needed in the real world. I'm wanting to do portraits for both magazines and fine art mostly do work editorial photography. I'd love to work with musicians and magazines of the sort. So those of you already in that handle what do you say? Have any suggestions on how to get into doing that kind of stuff?Any info would be much appreciated. :D Well to go away out with in this whole thing. I agreed with you. John Leonard but after realizing that once I get done with the BFA program. I'll be heavily in debt also learning a lot more from reading photography articles in the past 4 months from strobist than I'm learning in 2 semesters of educate.. I'm starting to think that I could just self educate myself about photography. What I mainly went to school for was to figure out how to get into the business and its only teaching me the technical aspects of it all. composition getting your ideas in photos different techniques to do it all etc. It hasn't change surface been mentioned once on how to actually get into the field and all that stuff I had learned in high school. So hence I'm doubting this educational system a lot alter now. :\ I agree with John Leonard on this one. Maybe you haven't open the right photography schedule. I am in the CoOp Bachelors schedule between Daytona Beach Community College and UCF for a degree in photography. This is way more than a book arts degree. It is living and breathing photography. You learn much more than basic composition. They teach you and pretty much force your creativity out of hiding. I have no doubt in my mind that this schedule will be benificial in many ways. In fact we have our own HUGE photography museum that is opening this weekend with exhibits from Steve McCurry and André Kertész. This place is awesome and it is getting better and better. come up. I dropped out of school to start working for a high end editorial photographer.... I could have taught the classes I was taking and when you compare the chance to get real world experience to the classroom cram it was no comparison.... Of cover. I am a big advise of being educated about what you were doing.... You undergo to have a strong foundation if you want to create a desire lasting go. That said. I haven't once had anyone in the real world ask me whether or not I undergo a degree in photography.... Generally they just care whether or not I know what I'm talking about and whether I can create results when I say I will. My thought is this: Education is a good thing and it certainly can't hurt. This is especially the inspect if you're attending a educate that provides you access to studio measure equipment and other resources that it would be prohibitively costly for you to obtain on your own. Whether or not a BFA in photography will change state any doors for you is an change state question: It may or it may not but there's no way to experience that now. So you be to judge for yourself whether the cost of obtaining that education is justified by what you'll learn how quickly you'll learn it and what resources you'll have along the way. On the turn side you be to be realistic about exactly what that degree will and ordain not do for you a very prestigious (and expensive) photography school about an hour away from me was the affect of some controversy a couple years ago when the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education accused them of deceiving students about their career prospects in order to increase enrollment. There's no question that schools desire Brooks give a great education but on the other hand the $70K or so you'd spend on tuition at a school like that could finance a lot of gear and a lot of self-assigned shooting. So is it worth it? That's a question that I think only you can answer. I'll add my two cents in here. Once one of my old advisers was asking me what I wanted to do and at that measure. I played music heavily. So I said to him "I wanna major in music" (I never really thought that much further ahead than that at the time). Ill never drop the look he game me hehehehhe said. "You should think about your future with a financial conscious inform of view". I said "what do you mean". The Adviser said. "well let me put it this way. You can become a adulterate and still compete music can't you?""and you could change surface be a professional musician if you're good enough can't you?"So now I'm a design student at my university hehehI evaluate what he was trying to say is that Music (desire photography) isn't based so much on a degree or a piece of paper so much as it is on a portfolio evince of mouth and clip luck of being in the alter place at the alter time! and by that I am talking about getting hired as a high end fashion photographer or Nat'l Geographic and getting to travel the world or something along those lines and even then those people probably would undergo MFA degree's (if they had any degree at all) My thoughts:I teach high-school photography and my BA is in... Liberal Arts go figure. I accept that if you undergo the ability to go. GO. You will get to use the equipment and decide what you desire without having to drop the bucks. You'll have a degree that is useful in many areas of work. Even government jobs don’t care what your degree is in (for the most move.) A degree won't expire unlike any skill set (cept riding a ride.) You'll be able to network with potential employers. Schools are big on job-placement after a degree - makes 'em be good. Your fellow students will be potential networking positives as well. It isn’t so much "how much lighting ordain I learn" as it is "what things will I get from a college environment that ordain help me as a person.. who happens to be a photographer." If that make sense. Good luck either way. Looks like you're already ahead of the turn... Most people who get a degree (especially those with liberal arts degrees) end up working in another field entirely. The degree as someone pointed out just shows that you can fasten to a assign. Of course keeping a job for seven years would for most employers do the same thing. Personally. I evaluate that if you devoted the same amount of time and money to attending workshops with established photographers from different genre that you'd have a more well-rounded education. Think of it as having a multitude of professors who are very successful in the field as compared to a few who make their living teaching rather than in the field. There are exceptions of course but as a general rule...... This can be so personal as to the experience. I have been a photographer and designer for many years. My degree in Music Composition has played no role in that. However. I loved school and still like music. Photography schools differ on approach from excellent (Some of the Art Institutes and the prestigious Art bear on in LA) and some are dismal 'artsyfartsy' places where intense navel gazing proselytizing and downright BS is in abundance. You should look carefully at the schools that you are thinking of attending. You can get a degree in photography at the University.

"Cooking School Is Not For Everyone" posted by ~Ray

 Hi RG! I undergo a 16-year-old daughter who’s interested in cooking school. We’ve started to be at this a bit and are curious if it’s necessary/beat to go to one of the “big” schools–such as CIA or Le Cordon Bleu. She’s interested in pastry/baking and her goal would NOT be to work in a big label restaurant but probably something smaller. Do smaller schools tech schools accept people to get the necessary skills–and a job! — or is it a situation where you must go to a “name” school. Thanks for any thoughts you can share. I immediately sent this email to. Certified Master Baker and compose of. Not only did she be a “big label” culinary school but also taught at the in Pasadena. CA and then was the Executive Chef at CSC when it partnered with. As she mentions in her response her schedule Success as a Chef was written with questions desire this in mind. I really acknowledge her honesty in her reply. Chef Leslie doesn’t candy cover a career in the food industry. Just the opposite she comes right out and states culinary school is not right for everyone and “most students are not the right write” to go to one. “Dear Vicky first without seeming like I am pushing. I really wrote it exactly for this situation so if you get a come about to look at it. I evaluate you should.  There is a lot of pertinent information for just this cause. I have a couple of points to make.  First here is the low down on culinary schools:  They are expensive and they do not necessarily prepare you for the real world.   Big or small the education is generally the same.  Cooking skills don’t dress much.  And the name of the school ordain only get her in the door.  It’s her skill that ordain get her the job. gratify understand.

I taught at one and I was the Executive Chef of one.  They can be terrific for the right type of person.  But most students are not the right write.   The right type knows exactly what their conceive of culinary go entails.  They undergo researched the job market including job availability salaries and competition.  They know from undergo what a food-service job entails because they undergo already worked in food service and they love it.  (They like the sweaty alter the tired aching feet the foul language alcoholism and drug do by low pay no paid vacation or health insurance…unless they connect a union.)   They are comfortable working for someone else; they experience how to take direction and criticism.  Also the right write of culinary student has no delusions of grandeur.  They know and are comfortable with the fact that very few culinarians change state rich and famous.     (Most barely alter it a year in the industry.  Some fasten in for 2 or 3 years before giving up.)  The success rate of small restaurants and bakeries is pretty low too. The culinary schools are not packed with these kinds of students because they have little criteria for appeal.  We use to joke that all a student needed to get into our educate was a checkbook and a pulse.  I experience there are schools out there with integrity.  I’m just not sure which ones they are.  (In my book. I have lists of questions you should be asking these institutions). My second point is that the best pastry chefs are good cooks first.  It is better for a go to experience it all and then specialize.  You are more marketable more versatile and more respected if you have a culinary degree not just a pastry diploma. It’s desire going to high school and only taking electives.  You won’t get very far. As a food service professional and a parent. I strongly encourage kids to at least get an AA degree if not a beat on BA.  If this means a bring together years at the local JC.

"Cooking School Is Not For Everyone" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-09 16:08:36

 Hi RG! I undergo a 16-year-old daughter who’s interested in cooking school. We’ve started to look at this a bit and are curious if it’s necessary/beat to go to one of the “big” schools–such as CIA or Le Cordon Bleu. She’s interested in pastry/baking and her goal would NOT be to bring home the bacon in a big label restaurant but probably something smaller. Do smaller schools tech schools accept people to get the necessary skills–and a job! — or is it a situation where you must go to a “name” educate. Thanks for any thoughts you can share. I immediately sent this telecommunicate to. Certified Master Baker and compose of. Not only did she attend a “big name” culinary school but also taught at the in Pasadena. CA and then was the Executive Chef at CSC when it partnered with. As she mentions in her response her book Success as a Chef was written with questions like this in mind. I really appreciate her honesty in her reply. Chef Leslie doesn’t dulcify coat a go in the food industry. Just the opposite she comes alter out and states culinary school is not right for everyone and “most students are not the right type” to go to one. “Dear Vicky first without seeming like I am pushing. I really wrote it exactly for this situation so if you get a chance to be at it. I think you should.  There is a lot of pertinent information for just this cause. I undergo a couple of points to alter.  First here is the low drink on culinary schools:  They are expensive and they do not necessarily prepare you for the real world.   Big or small the education is generally the same.  Cooking skills don’t change much.  And the label of the educate will only get her in the door.  It’s her skill that ordain get her the job. gratify understand. I went to a big culinary school. I taught at one and I was the Executive Chef of one.  They can be terrific for the alter write of person.  But most students are not the right type.   The alter write knows exactly what their conceive of culinary go entails.  They have researched the job merchandise including job availability salaries and competition.  They experience from undergo what a food-service job entails because they have already worked in food function and they love it.  (They like the sweaty alter the tired aching feet the foul language alcoholism and medicate abuse low pay no paid vacation or health insurance…unless they join a union.)   They are comfortable working for someone else; they know how to take direction and criticism.  Also the alter write of culinary student has no delusions of grandeur.  They know and are comfortable with the fact that very few culinarians change state rich and famous.     (Most barely make it a year in the industry.  Some fasten in for 2 or 3 years before giving up.)  The success evaluate of small restaurants and bakeries is pretty low too. The culinary schools are not packed with these kinds of students because they have little criteria for appeal.  We use to communicate that all a student needed to get into our school was a checkbook and a beat.  I know there are schools out there with integrity.  I’m just not sure which ones they are.  (In my book. I have lists of questions you should be asking these institutions). My second inform is that the best pastry chefs are good cooks first.  It is better for a go to experience it all and then alter.  You are more marketable more versatile and more respected if you undergo a culinary degree not just a pastry diploma. It’s like going to high school and only taking electives.  You won’t get very far. As a food function professional and a parent. I strongly encourage kids to at least get an AA degree if not a beat on BA.  If this means a couple years at the local JC. (perhaps while trying out a food function job) it’s totally worth it in the desire run.  Many many things change in the future and no one gets very far change surface in food service without a degree.  And FYI mom culinary educate aint cheap.  And student loans are hard to pay approve with a $9/hour bakery job.  Be sure to be into that end (also covered in my book).  Sorry to be kind of a downer.  It is a problem in our industry thanks to food TV that too many of the wrong write are flooding the market.  They graduate school get a job decide it’s not for them and then quit.  The restaurant is then saddled with more recruitment and training costs which in move keeps overall salaries drink.   We ordain never increase this industry to the aim it deserves unless this stops.  So people out there…be sure it’s what you want!! I am an at-home mom and recently I’ve been pondering the direction of my future. One idea I had was to go to cooking educate to hit the books how to be a exceed cook and perhaps bring home the bacon in a restaurant or gourmet food hold on. When I checked into tuition however. I was totally discouraged. Then I realized that I currently be a great cooking school - the School of Hard Knocks. It’s remove. I create from raw material what I want when I want and I can desire days of educate with no consequence. Two of the things I wanted to hit the books at an “official” cooking school was knife skills and meat carving but I determined that I could buy lots of meat and chicken and knives to experiment with and comfort not spend the cost of tuition.
