Well I dropped out of the Art Institute because I'm waisting money, (Sad when you have to teach PS to the teachers) I have connections with major modeling agencies here.

Besides the point.

I'm 20 and I got asked by an internationally known photographer & retoucher of several books to come to a huge conference in NYC and be one of her assistances (approx 3-5 others), but I will be assisting her in a room of 50-60 individuals.

So I get to go to this conference for free and assist for a couple days, but also get to go to NYC for the first time.

=)

There are a lot of good art schools you can go to. Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the art institute accept any student that has money? I found that strange because most schools only accept students that have a good portfolio.

Make sure you network and sell your skills. This maybe the opportunity you need to get kick started.

I got accepted when more or less you had to have good work, I remember my port was alot more advanced than anyone elses... LOL.

Also, I will net work, this is an author of 5 photoshop books, I believe her and her co-worker designed the "300 Movie" that toning, it's called Sepiaesque toning, which I've used on some of my images!
