  • How to Find the School that’s Right for You!

    http://www.schoolsforme.net

    When you think about how to find the school that's right for you, there are a number of factors that should be considered. Just finding names of schools can be a daunting task. We will assume for a moment that you want to go to film school, as an example. Use a search engine and just type in the words "film school", a second later you will have a list that is millions of results long. Even if you only went through the first ten pages you would still have far more results than you probably wanted to see.Read more »
  • Which Schools Offer Career Help for Job Seekers in Search of Media and Arts Related Jobs?

    http://www.schoolsforme.net

    Which schools offer career help?  This is a common question among those trying to break into exciting media and arts careers in the recording, film, and radio industries.

    Smart job-seekers know they want to be involved in these industries but they also know they need to have the right experience.  While attending college is certainly a worthwhile option, there are three primary considerations to be aware of before deciding whether college is the best choice.

    The first concern is the high sticker price of higher education.  Attending college can be expensive.  In fact, according to a recent New York Times article, college tuition has actually increased despite the economic downturn.  That's right - college students can expect to pay more than ever for a degree.Read more »

  • Career Schools Choices in Media

    http://www.schoolsforme.net

    An excellent way to begin your career in audio & music recording, radio broadcasting, or film production is through a Career School program. Career Schools are professional, trade or vocational programs designed specifically for adult students who wish to become trained in a specific field. Many of these programs are designed around the principles of the private mentor-apprentice relationship, allowing for real world work-study and on the job training. Instruction can be found in most major cities in the U.S. and Canada, with classes occurring in real recording studios, radio stations and film shoots. These programs will usually lead to a certificate of training instead of a traditional degree.Read more »

  • Is a Degree Worth Getting When Pursuing a Career in Media/Arts?

    You know the end of your favorite film? The one you've watched a million times and always smile when they get to that special scene, that climactic scene, right at the end...? That one.

    Where do you think it started? It started at the beginning of the film. The filmmakers crafted, built and brought you along on that journey which made the ending pay off that much more. They did the work.

    Let's look at the question again...is a degree worth getting when pursuing a career in media/arts?

  • Are Teachers and Classrooms on the Way Out?

    http://www.schoolsforme.net

    JEFF GOLDBLUM:
    Do we still need teachers?

    GEORGE LUCAS:
    The most powerful thing in teaching is to be able to have a one-on-one relationship with a student, to be one human being having personal contact with another human being. Nothing is more powerful than that.

    JEFF GOLDBLUM:
    Imagine being part of a class held simultaneously in a dozen different cities or a dozen different countries. Think about learning your chosen career not in a school room but as an apprentice working side by side with an older and wiser mentor. What we learn in school is ultimately more important than how we go to school because education is the key to our future and the future is where we will spend the rest of our lives.

Most College Students Don’t Finish School

San Antonio Express News
College Graduation Rate Sinks

College Graduation Rate Sinks

When over 60% of college students fail to graduate within six years of enrollment, something is wrong with the system. The main reason for the low graduation rate has nothing to do with academics and all to do with life. Simply put, more and more college students can’t afford the rising tuition costs, the escalating cost of living and the lack of gainful employment for the six or more years the average student takes to complete college.

These are frightening statistics. When 60% of college students actually end up heavily in debt and with no degree, the system is broken. Now more than ever, the high school graduate must take into consideration all of the higher education alternatives that are available to them. Read More...

What Schools Offer Career Help?

It seems pretty clear that the primary role of post high school education is to prepare you for a career in your chosen field of study. When the discussion turns to careers in the creative fields of media and arts, however, the role of the academic institution is less defined. Creative jobs get filled differently than most jobs. Take acting for instance: you show up for an audition (along with hundreds of other job candidates) and have less than five minutes to present your case. Your chances of success have everything to do with how well you fit the role that is being offered, and nothing to do with how book smart you are, or where you graduated in your class, and at the end of the day, only one person will be hired for the role. While maybe not as dramatic, other creative career opportunities follow a similar process—there are far more applicants than positions available and you need to nail your interview the first time out.

Get the Skinny on the Real Cost of Education

There are many things to consider when trying to calculate the true cost of an education; some obvious, some less so. First and foremost among educational expenses is the cost of tuition. On Schools For Me, we have chosen to display the complete tuition costs to graduate. In other words, if a school costs $10,000 per semester and requires eight semesters to graduate, then the tuition cost displayed on Schools For Me would be $80,000 ($10,000 x 8 semesters).
