RISD - Why am i in grad school?



some questions are not real questions demanding an answer, but rather are designed to evoke some emotional response, or a thought process. so why am i in grad school? not a very good question. mostly since there has already been a pledged investment of about 100K $ in it. does it have any more meaning then that? does it even need more then that? if there is some kind of purpose based on advancement of any kind i have not seen it yet. even if i wanted to learn how to be an american, or an american artist, how to behave in a strongly political motivated society, this would not be the place to learn. if i wanted to learn about photography i should have stayed with the good old Dr. Langford. all too bad he is dead and Joel Sternfeld has nothing to do with photography anymore.
Why are you in grad school? what have you learn? in a pile, put it down and show me all you have learned and what you assume to accomplish with it.
