I have just replied to a begging letter!
A young woman who has just completed a diploma in photography wrote to me asking for a position as an assistant photographer. I am really sorry not to be able to help her, since I am, what I call "semi-retired"
As she rightly observes "a diploma is more about technique rather than real experience".
I can fully relate to that, at least in portrait photography, where the technique required is minimal, but the social and artistic skills are far more important. And the only way to acquire those skills is by following the example of an experienced portraitist.
