hello all!

I am currently in an art school in la but am seriously considering transferring to G n o m o n @ Hollywood because I feel my school does not emphasize enough on the things I want to learn.

My question is - Is a deegree a must for this industry. Because i've heard mixed opinions about this topic. I talked to my school counselor and he said that while it's true that you don't necessarily need a job to get in this industry, but a deegree will separate those that will advance in to higher positions.

is my counselor correct? I hope h'es not because I really feel that g n o m o n is more geared towards how the industry works.
