    This also speaks to the "How to start and MFA program." to a degree.
    We get resumes all the time in the mail (though we don't hire).
    Almost all of them have a list of schooling, some have job
    experience. They all go straight into the round file. Send some of
    that stuff and a single picture, and you'll have something. Sure,
    you went to school, but did you learn anything? Of course the other
    side of the coin is rampant, too - "I never read anything or had any
    training (one said even that it can't be taught!), but I'm a jewelry
    designer because I want to be." Those don't go in the round file,
    they get burned...
