Tomorrow for example he has to wake up at 5am to get to the spot to take the picture for sunrise. He takes a few shots and has to work on each one so he can be up working on those picture till 2am to have them finished.
Im done school this year, and I plan on working but I was thinking of going back to school, Ive kind of been interested in doing investigations. Just the job out of school is a good oppertunity I do not want to pass.
lol a guy I played hockey with had an applied photography degree and now he works at a firm and he takes pictures at nightclubs and concerts for a magazine.

you can never have enough education and loving what you do for work is such a bonus.

experience is everything.....!
You could go through school for 6 years taking Business and Sales is what you were studying the most.....and then you hit the real world and you suck and the guy with no school is towering over you......
So university means nothing when it comes to business SOMETIMES.....but the basics do help.....need to be a people person

matt, maybe you could go to skool part time while holding down a job. it'll take u longer to finish skool, but at least u wont be so strapped for cash. just a thought.

i've always worked full time while doing full time classes, I'm just good like that...might not have been regular full time 9-5 hours but it equated to full time hours spaced out throughout the week...I kinda miss all that
