Photography is an apprentice at first, so it is better to go to school.

It depends on how you position yourself. If you just want to be an ordinary person like a photographer, you can get started faster as an apprentice in a photo studio. If you want to study photography deeply and go further in this field, go to school. Of course, in the end, we have to rely on our own efforts. If you don't work hard, it's the same everywhere.
