A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Hey Guys, I’m 17 and looking for recommendations for photography related job ideas, as I’m just finishing school and studying photography next year. So far I’ve been looking out for studio and camera shop jobs but haven’t found much. Any advice is appreciated.

and studying photography next year.

In what sort of program? Studying photography from an art perspective is really only useful if you are planning on trying to be a fine art photographer or it also has some useful application for fashion photography.

If your goal is to be a professional photographer your best use of educational resources will be to study small business management and do how to photography courses in the area(s) you are looking to get into. Doesn't need to be college courses either. Very few people who are looking to hire you to work as a photographer will care about where/how you learned,they will be much more interested in what your images look like and to a degree your personality.
