I had people on my course in their mid 20s who never said anything about having to pay for it. =P That's gonna be crap for me when I wanna go back then. I find it annoying that any education has to be paid for by us. It should all be free.
I never wanna be in debt. I like having the money before I have to pay for it. =P Then you don't have to pay interest and such things on top.
450D? Nice. I'm looking at getting a D90 or something similar. Around the same price, but really great reviews. D300 is like double the price of the D90, but also seem to get great reviews. But I'm also looking to get a video camera, so I have to go by a budget I gave myself. £3000 for computer, video cam and photo cam. Already spent £700 on my computer and another £300 when I get it will be going to an audio interface, so I can record music. Unfortunately, I have no job and so don't have any money right now. I'm down to my last £20 or so. Literally. >.<
