I study and run my own independent business, the perks are good with both, the school is right next to Fox Studios and we get to work there A LOT, which is good, because to work in a studio, its not what you know, it's who you know (to a degree), we also get a good chance of getting work with surrounding studios as soon as we finish compared to someone trying to break into the business from else were than a school, just because we have made the connection with help from the school and the studio know who we are and how we work. I also like having my business, keeps me busy on the weekend and I learn the aspect you miss most at school, working directly with clients, sure the studio sort of counts as a client, but they don't pay you, so there is a difference, and the money is also a good bonus. I am not sure what country you are in, so this can vastly change from country to country, either way, I say buy yourself a low-level DSLR or video camera, get shooting and experience what you can. Good Luck, Liam
