I'm heading over to check out a school here in Vegas on Monday. I'm a little confused when to start sending out applications to company's. Is it normal to wait until your in school, or can this be done once you have a school nailed down (before plunking down any cash)? I guess I'm a little leary of giving a school my money and not having any contacts established with a few company's. Will a company consider looking at an application before I've even sat in the schoolhouse? How do I know I'm hirable beforehand. I guess what I'm getting at is how do I make sure I'm a player before I cough up any bones to a school? I've heard some say they are in school and don't have anything lined up yet with a company, but that sounds kind of risky to me. Any feedback will be appreciated...
