Hi John;
I would also highly discourage you from going to school full-time. As people have said before, it is experience that really counts in this business, not a degree. Mind you, I did go to school myself and I don’t regret it, but I think it’s more for younger people who think they want to be a director or just want to get into the business but aren’t sure what they want to do. Since you are well into your 20’s at least (I assume) and already know what you want to do…you really don’t want to waste time on a 2, 3 or whatever year program potentially getting yourself into a lot of debt, then graduate and probably start working from the bottom and practically have to learn everything over again.
