I'm spending my time working on an engineering degree and the work I do daily makes me appreciate photography/photojournalism even more. When I graduate I'm sure I won't have the classical art background that the photo majors will have, but I bet I'll be a competitive and effective photographer. Yeah, I only work for my lowly university paper... And they have an aversion to photography and a perversion for cheesy AP wire stories that have no bearing on anything resembling respectable or interesting news. I do get 24 hour access to a full, under utilized darkroom though. Just because I work for them doesn't mean I read their paper. Mike
