Should You Get A Degree In Photography

While there are some people who do not have a degree in fine arts or photography that are making a living in the commercial art industry there are several reasons why you should consider getting a degree. Sure you can possess a natural ability and hone it over a period of time with experience but, there are times when a degree in photography, or any degree, gives you an advantage over the competition.


Having a degree gives you the following advantages:

* It opens up connections with like minded people
* It is required by some employers
* It increases your knowledge, both artistically and commercially
* It provides you with business skills
