<p>I just want to mention, once again, that it’s not just the school name on your resume, a BFA also offers a network of professionals to help you get your foot in the door. It doesn’t matter if they don’t know you, because they probably know someone who knows you, and, most importantly, they know how you were trained. I agree you’re not going anywhere without a decent personality, attitude and work ethic, but even with these intangibles, a lot can be inferred by those who know exactly how hard you’ve had to work, and how much serious criticism you’ve had to absorb, over the last several years.</p>
