There's this guy talking to someone where I'm at, about his daughter going to art school. Should I tell him he should prepare to have her live at his house until he pays off her student debt and gets a second degree?
the point is they went to art school and are supporting themselves with their degree. Not every one feels like you. Maybe his daughter will be an artisan during the week and an artist on the weekends. you never know @naoradix:
@VioletRayne: True, but any artist that has a day job usually loses their ability to create, faster than those who have the freedom to let their minds wander. It's not something you can command. Working for a company diminishes the ability to create, faster.
so many colleges take advantage of kids by selling them on degrees that rarely lead to real work, yes there are jobs for all degrees but many pay very little or are few and far between
My daughter is doing some sort of qual in animal husbandry, they encourage the kids to believe it will lead to jobs such as Vet, veterinary nurse or marine biologist. My daughter is putting her heart into this, doing placements at vets and volunteering (the only one on the course) to help out at an open day they held at the weekend. None of the other kids on the course give a fk.
Lot's of artists have degrees and lots don't, In some states you don't need a law degree to be a lawyer you just need to pass the bar exam and apprentice with a law firm.
@ImAFreeSpirit: This is true, but federal states the you can't qualify to take the bar unless you've successfully completed a law program. That's how they get you.
When I see someone walking straight towards an abyss, I usually tell them... but I don't think I've ever actually changed anyone's mind. Still, it's like a moral obligation or something. Like the guy who keeps dying in Groundhog Day. Phil knows if he doesn't act, the man WILL die. Strong incentive to try.
Naw... maybe they are wealthy enough that it isn't a concern. Or maybe she'll meet some successful guy one day while painting in Paris that'll marry her and pay her student loans off.
My older brother is doing an art degree, barely held a job down all his life. (At least he doesn't draw anime). My mother thinks he's amazing, her son at university.
