Lauren, in response to your question about colleges, I just found this very beautiful statement that I hope encourages you!
“Don't ask yourself
what the world needs;
ask yourself
... what makes you come alive.
And then go and do that.
Because
what the world needs is
people who have come alive.”

Hello friends! It is that time for me to decide what I want to do with my life! Photography is clearly a huge passion for me but I'm wondering if you guys think there is enough demand for photographers? Also, what schools would you guys reccomend?
Thanks for your input!
