I went to a school guys, its called simplymaya.. wonderful place . You can visit it at simplymaya.com. Not expensive either . But yea, a degree to me seems like a key, it opens doors.. but then you have to step through.. and you can only step through if you know how to walk.. if that makes any sence. So a degree will let people recognise you more, but if you dont have the talent or put the time into it.. its just not going to happen.
