Hi, I’m new to College Confidential.
I’m a film major at Clayton State University, and I’m about to be a junior next semester. The reason I’m nervous about the future is because I’m still worried people hire you based on the prestige/reputation of the school you went to. And I don’t know how most people percieve Clayton State (other than bigots who hate it just because it’s located in a sketchy area & a lot of people of color who attend there). I was thinking about possibly transferring to Georgia State, but I’m so close to graduating there’s no point to it. And I don’t know how that will go with the G.I. Bill. I’m currently taking the Georgia Film Academy course, which after completing the 2 courses, you’ll get a certificate - which should help getting basic crew work.
I’m just unsure about everything, especially since Clayton State just started their film program (which I think is tragic at this point because there are only 3 film professors, few classes available to graduate, & no plan to help the film students).
