To attend university or not

So you think you're too young to get in at 32?

I heard an interesting interview from a photographer on 7 photography questions, he figured that school was not the best option. His theory was take some workshops and take photos. Study the masters and take photos. Participate in online critiques and take photos. I think he had a theme but I'm not sure :-)

Then on the other hand school will expose you to many things you might not come across on your own as well as a good base in theory and art appreciation.

So there I just talked in a complete circle, I should run for office.

as someone who returned to school and graduated at 32 I think that you should do it! I did two degrees. Had two kids and then returned and finished my second Masters while the kids were young. It's certainly doable.

It's obviously an interest of yours and you are definitely talented. It's worth it to nurture that talent. Emily Carr is a wonderful University (one of the ones my daughter picked but it was too far away) with a great reputation.
