<p>It seems that nyugrad is just here trying to promote self, so not too interesting a thread. My daughter’s HS classmate, however, did attend film school at NYU and graduated early after a great internship opportunity and now works for a very successful producer on an upcoming followup to a VERY high profile series. Lucky (or clever?) him/her.</p>
<p>People like Marty Nemko jut want to deal with averages and that will always not include people with fantastic potential or opportunities. Of course not always can you live up to it or be lucky, but you can try film work rather than do accounting if it moves you. The times I have read his newspaper articles I have found that he gives incorrect advice on occasion. I once wrote him to that point and found he had no interest in the facts, stuck to his wrong advice, but he was gracious enough to reply.</p>
<p>I do think people should be cautious with debt and college expense and not be foolish about ‘dream schools’; I do think it is unfortunate that NYU can’t offer the kind of aid some peer schools can; I do know people who hated NYU.</p>
