The administrative staff is mostly haughty. They are always right, and students have to follow and obey. Cold perhaps, but it is their way of maintaining order and authority.

Close attention is given to any complaints from students.
The most practical, logical, and typical step after graduating from a photo school in Japan is to work as a studio or photographer's assistant. However, such jobs are mostly limited to those younger than 25. In Japan, age is a major concern among job recruiters. Daytime students who are still around 20 years old upon graduation usually find some photography-related job such as an assistant. The recession has also shrank the job market.
