answers1: You need to rethink ALL your choices. They all are
for-profit scam schools. Watch "College Inc" on Frontline. <br>
<br>
If its one of the Art Institutes run by EDMC (all of them that use the <br>
AI logo), avoid them like a plague. They're not an art school <br>
employers take seriously. They're open enrollment, they take ANYONE. <br>
They just want the financial aid from the government that you are <br>
entitled to. The government is now suing them for 11 Billion Dollars
which could wipe them off the map easily. They also got hit with
ANOTHER lawsuit claiming the same thing! <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
If you ask me, they're an elaborate corporate scam to funnel as many <br>
Government Pell grants and guaranteed loans out of students as they <br>
can and leave the students with the bill. <br>
<br>
They're like McDonald's of Art "Colleges". They're a chain that is <br>
popping up everywhere. They buy out dying schools, rename them, keep <br>
the accreditation.They create programs designed for impulse buyers and
quick hits aka uninformed students. <br>
<br>
They may seem like they would be good, but it is all smoke and <br>
mirrors. Pretty building with pretty computers. Meanwhile, it will <br>
just ruin your life. <br>
<br>
The market demand they say they're meeting is not the demand of the <br>
Job market, its the demand of the students. Students that graduated AI <br>
are struggling to get jobs and have over more than $50,000+ or <br>
$90,000+ in debt depending on what degree they went for. Degrees that <br>
are worthless in the job market. <br>
<br>
Basically, AI is a degree mill, a total debt factory. They use bloated
success stats and <br>
circle logic to back them up. <br>
<br>
They count students working at Toys R Us as in the field. Avoid them <br>
if you want to actually have a decent future. <br>
<br>
If you really want to pursue your passion, go to a community college, <br>
study fine art, and then transfer into a state school. It will be <br>
cheaper and the money you save you can buy your own equipment and <br>
STILL have money left over for a better future. <br>
<br>
Their job leads are bogus, they go to Monster, Craigslist, and career <br>
builder just like everyone else. Their top employer is HOME DEPOT <br>
(Check their own website) and I guarantee none of those are art jobs. <br>
<br>
Don't make the same mistake my friends and I did. We'll be paying for <br>
it for the rest of our lives. <br>
<br>
If you go with AI you'll be folding clothes at Target or hawking video <br>
games at Toys R Us for $8.25 an hour and struggling to pay $90,000+ <br>
with bill collectors haunting your every waking moment for the REST OF <br>
YOUR LIFE with no way to stop them because there is no bankruptcy <br>
protection on Student loans. <br>
Please please please make sure you check out these news articles <br>
below. Many are accounts from students, staff, and teachers of AI. <br>
Feel free to check YELP ("Filtered results" as well.) <br>
<br>
<br>
What you do with this information is your choice, I just want to make <br>
sure you know everything before listening to one of their recruiters <br>
sales pitch. Remember, they're paid sales people. Not your friend. <br>
College may be expensive but what these guys are pulling is straight <br>
out highway robbery. <br>
<br>
Below is a few news articles about different AI's around the country.
They're all pulling the same thing. <br>
Its EDMC's business model. <br>
<br>
You will NOT make enough to back the loans. They know this. They just
want the government money they can pull in your name. <br>
Decide for yoursel

answers3: Please do yourself a huge favor and AVOID those private
overly priced For-profit schools such as the art institute, grand
canyon university, visual arts school and others as they are merely
out to "make a profit" (**and their course credits usually do NOT
transfer to other schools). It may be tough to obtain a job in
graphic design as it is, much less with a degree from a for-profit
school. <br>
<br>
These consumer sites have a lot of negative posts by former students
about those for-profit schools, and please heed the students'
warnings: <br>

<br>
Please instead consider the more affordable community college (for an
associate's degree) and/or the state/public university as long as the
program is accredited within the industry. <br>

answers4: DSLR photography doesn't need to be over-complicated. This
online photography course has been developed for beginners -
intermediate levels and will teach you how to make the best use of
your DSLR camera. <a href="https://tr.im/XagSc"
rel="nofollow"class=Clr-b>https://tr.im/XagSc</a> <br>
<br>
Learning how to confidently use your DSLR will help you get full value
out of this awesome camera you have already paid for! <br>
<br>
This course has been developed after seeing many potential
photographers give up far too soon, wasting good money they have spent
on the purchase of their DSLR camera.
answers5: Id suggest you to get a double degree with photography or
another art related degree. Graphic design either pays well or doesnt.
