When I got my MFA, (Ceramic Design) in the late 60s I noticed over the following years that the folks who got theirs at RISD and such, ended up at similar schools if they wanted to teach. Same thing for Ivy League art department grads. I taught for awhile at East Tennessee and my MFA grads who wanted to teach ended up at similar state colleges/universities. But for the business end of it, it's your work/portfolio that counts. - -- Jim - http://www.hemenway.com Matthew Powell wrote: > > Anyone have a good graphic design mailing list up their sleeve?
