I'm interested in the conundrum. I was a journalism major and I think my BA has served me well because my general education serves me well as a travel agent. Aaand that's about the extent of how I use journalism. On another note, my dad was a photographer (if you've been to Lubbock you've seen his work) and when he was hiring photographers he preferred them to NOT have a degree in photography. He felt they focused too much on the art and not enough on the technical. He wanted them shooting (mostly portraits) the way he wanted them shot. So as some have said, getting more education is great, but tread gently about an abundance of education in photography specifically.
