you do learn alot in film school, really, dont take courses to get a degree though, take courses that will turn you into a film maker, as for money , it's out there, and if you really want this shit to work out, you have to fucking find it, and write, and write, and write, and get jobs on the set of ANY production, whether it is broadcasting, film, sports, anything, and you have to accept the fact that there is a VERY good chance you will spend your life making films, and being DIRT poor,so you have to be 100% sure this is what you want as your career and it isn't just a fantasy , I am not trying to be a dick, but being in film school I see a shitload of people come in with dream of being the next so and so, and they get slapped with the hard reality of how much of a pain in the ass film making really is when you have nobody one your side, but yourself and they split, if you already realize this than you should be on your way
