How come in this modern world we can't just learn things for the sake of learning?
It has to be about a degree, for a job
We're not allowed to just learn

Currently in digital photography 101 (basically) The fact there's SPEDs and downies in college is hilarious and annoying, I feel bad for the profs that can't tell them to shut the fuck up.

I've found myself going out of my way to upload my shots here or an A.I for critiques outside the scope of my projects, machine gun spraying shots and practicing dry fire is fun. Like I'm shooting shit legally.

OP here, I've been learning for learning's sake my whole life. I'm not thinking about photography education for a year because of career reasons, but just because I want to be in a place with photographers and learn more.

Would you recommend going in 2025 or do you think it's not as good as it used to be?

Currently majoring in Business Analytics with minor in computer science, since I just have to crunch numbers and it's predictably easy and just hard work that pays off.
