A COUPLE OF POINTS 1. You only need a degree in photography if you intend to teach. I have been a working photographer for 35 years and NOBODY ever asked me for academic credentials except for teaching posts. 2. Wildlife/landscape photography and fine-art photography are about as far apart as two idioms could get in photography. Most wildlife photography is done by very well equipped amateurs these days. To be a professional photographer you need a good amount of skill but a greater amount of salesmanship and some very good contacts Taking photographs COSTS money... Selling photographs earns money. The best way to learn photography is to set yourself specific projects and assignments within a time-frame and go out and shoot, shoot, shoot. Then assess your result critically. I set my first-year students a goal of 200 images a week.
