Think............
Would you pay to go to a dentist who torte himself dentistry? 
Would you pay to learn carpentry if your teacher was unqualified and had been doing it as a hobby for a year?
So why give you hard earned money to unqualified people when you want to learn about photography? 
Look forward to hearing from you.
