Should I say something?
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?

But the delusion that comes with the slim chance is questionable. I went to art school and was a professional artist for 10 years. I'm actually good at what I do, and have been praised and awarded since I was a baby. I still made no money.

@naoradix: I'm sorry that was your story but I know people who are artists and work in advertising and graphic design. I have a cousin who currently works in the gaming industry and makes big bucks. Your story isn't everyone's story.

@VioletRayne: Those people aren't artists. They're artisans. An artist works for themselves, not for a mega conglomerate or franchise.

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.
