Okay, so I'm seriously considering what I want to do with my life and I know I want it to be something involved with music. It's the only thing I feel a real passion for and I'm not a good enough musician to make a living so I thought about audio engineering. I've been checking out SAE Institute in NYC. It's only a 30 min train ride from my home and the tuition is $19,000. It would take me a year and half to complete (part time) and when I'm all done I get a diploma. Not a degree a diploma. So my real concern is if I can actually do anything with this education, career wise. Is there anyone here who has attended this school? What does it take to make it in the business? I'm young, naive and know NOTHING about recording but I'm passionate about doing something that I love for the rest of my life and I really think this would be something I would love. I would really appreciate any feedback you guys have here as I'm starting to see my entire life before my eyes and want to make the right decision.

I would say that it's probably a 70/15/15 split on what you need
I would say that it's probably a 70/15/15 split on what you need to get far in this business of music, 70% "who you know", 15% "Education", and 15% Experience. Most of my opportunities came by way of my relationships! The education will NOT hurt you, it will ultimately help, but it's really about jumping in with passion, drive & tenacity!
