It's much better to choose a career and let the Farmers deal with the fields!   |

I think of it like this..if your chosen profession makes you, personaly, happy..then let people say what they will. In the end, their words don't matter..your own happiness does. For the record, I think without art the world would be a very uninteresting place..you add beauty, and an insight on the world as it truly is that mere mortals like the rest of us will NEVER see, and without you there to capture it for us in a painting, a poem, or music..we would never even get a glimpse. So, I for one, thank you...  |

in America (to my knowledge at least) it tends to be 'go to college, get a good job, make money.' Its all about MONEY and thats insane to me! Id rather barely make ends meet doing something I love then be rolling the dough with something I hate!  |

Ummm here in Australia an Arts degree is more than just paintings and stuff. You do History and English and other Social Sciences. I just finished it so I could do my final year of my Education degree.  |

yeh Vedder, the curriculum is the same, however an art degree doesn't necessarily garuntee you a job...at least in the same way that say law school or a degree in Psychology would. |

Oh..I just assumed that you were an artist or something because of the post..but still, you made a great point and my thoughts stand for anyone who may be an artist of any type. |

But the fact of the matter is Midnightly that without these things those other professions wouldn't be able to work effectively. If it wasn't for history we wouldn't now how to act in the future. Communication, heaven forbid that doctors and nurses weren't able to understand their own little jargon. English, many things would be mis read without proper grammatical knowledge. |

that is soooo true..i feel like we have so many beautiful talents concerning art (especially abstract art its so popular here b/w the students) sad thing is very few people consider this as an actualy "talent". its sooo sad that a great gift such as the ability to form all sorts of arts is being thrown away..PEOPLE NEED TO APPRECIATE ART..ggrrrr its so frustrating!!!  |
