You know, it occurs to me that there are a lot of positive and negative things you can say about any school, but in the end what really matters is what you, the student, think and feel about it. For someone who is really interested in cars, an automotive school could be the best thing since sliced bread, but an interior designer is likely to think that shop class sucks.
What is really important is learning what you love. For instance, even if professional golf careers aren't attainable for most people, you can still get a degree from a golf school and pursue a golf career elsewhere in the industry. Doing so would enable you to study what you love, and therefore enjoy going to school — and, subsequently, enjoy your career — more than you would so otherwise.
For example, when I first enrolled in college I thought I was going to pursue something "more useful" than my real love, which was literature and writing. Ha! When I realized I couldn't resist taking English classes, I decided what the heck — I was going to major in English anyway. And if I hadn't gotten my Bachelor of Arts in English, I wouldn't be a freelance writer, and you wouldn't be reading this blog post right now.
Good things really can come from learning what you love. Trust me on this one!
