BSc sound engineering and a Masters degree in post production in television and film here, total cost about £26000, £4500 of which I had to pay out of my own pocket up front. That was 5 years ago since I left. Now same courses would cost around £40,000 not including cost of living. What I learned as a student before and after I left was that these schools are businesses and they make promises they cannot keep and lie their arses off about what you need to get in the industry. What I learned pretty quick is that the qualifications I have are not what the industry want. What they want is experience in the field and the only way you can do that is doing it for yourself. Having a commitment, passion and a strong work ethic even when your working for nothing is what will get you far, especially if your young.

Experience in the field without knowledge is nothing as you could learn all the wrong things. On the other hand, the right knowledge and the experience will get you further than just experience alone. Sorry if the institution you went to sold you a bubble. But no one should go into this field expecting that things would be easy and just fall into your lap.

We all stand on the shoulders of our mentors.

Indeed we do, but the question is about return on investment.

I got paid for learning from my mentors. The same is true of my stepson who is 30 years younger. There were no recording schools when I started however he never went to film school. You just need to go where the work is and meet the right people.

The ethos of the industry is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" this is especially true of the TV industry. Formal training is relatively new and is trying to fit itself into an industry that's 60 years old. The problem with schools is they like to think education and the industry is an established relationship. Nothing could be further from the truth. |
