I am researching one of the bigger Cosm-Nail-Esth schools nearby. All seems well except their model policy where a student must get people to go to the practice salon and they pay a reduced rate to be the living practice dummy and pratical test model. That is fine for people with huge families and friend networks. It seems unworkable for someone without. Is this the norm at most schools?

This school does attract people who come for reduced rate work normally, like a dental college might. But they still say a student must bring in paying bodies. This could be a deal killer for attending school.

Not risking the 401k or having delusions of filmmaking career grandeur. Just pursuing dreams of being involved in film projects as a post-career creative challenge when whatever income one makes from it is just gravy.

​

The 3 negatives I can think of are:

​

- energy levels

- ageism regarding networking

- less tolerance of bullshit

I am considering doing a college program for structured learning and maybe getting in on production of projects in the region. Age: mid 50s, active.

There are so many micro four thirds bodies out there in use. And with the OM3's popularity, I expect more people to join the ranks, even if using the MFT line as a travel camera. I believe if Viltrox re-released many of the Evo and Air lenses as MFT AF mounts, they would get snapped up quickly. There are at least 4 that I would jump on.
