Just to be clear; I'm not trying to discount the USC film department, Ben, Gary, Walter, Mark or any of it's alumni, I'm just trying to not discount a lot of other, just-as-talented people who didn't go there.

Ben getting hired sight unseen on the recommendation of Ken Mura to work on Star Wars- Gary getting hired after Mura was asked by George Lucas "Who is the next Ben Burtt?"....
I am not sure how many other Colleges people like George Lucas is calling.....
Well I think I have managed to do ok, and I just have a couple of AA degrees....
I think in the market, as it sits right now, you simply have more options by going (and excelling) at USC....
