Hi Guys! Happy Friday! Hope you all enjoyed the week and you have a 3-day Columbus Day weekend!! I somehow amazingly do myself, but will be filling it with lots of catch-up work and trying to get back on top of all my stuff. But regardless, I won’t be 9-5′ing it that day! :) W00T.

How in the WORLD do you run up $170,000 on a PHOTOGRAPHY degree?! I think someone decided to get the maximum number of loans she possibly could for everything and is trying to justify it as ‘education’. I have a Mass Comm degree, and I took a lot of photography classes (that yes, are very expensive) – but still, my entire cost of college was only $30k.
You got me. Either way it’s a crap ton of money though!
College is becoming less and less worth the money. A degree is little more than a hunting license.
Thanks for the link love my friend!
hmm… not gonna agree with you on that one ;) you think you could have your job w/out a degree?
Better late than never. My life has been nutso the last few days. Just wanted to extend my gratitude to you for always promoting my material. You are the definition of Yakezie… selflessly helping others. My appreciation to you cant be measured, but it is more important that you enjoy the material. You crazy fool!
Well I wouldn’t go that far ;) I just like spreading the good word when I see it! And it just so happens you’ve been rockin’ it my friend.
