People made this joke about my art degree (textiles) but I've had a career for 25 years and my mortgage is about to be paid off in April. So, eat a dick 🫳🎤

I'm happy for you, but real question: would you recommend this degree to aspiring students? Would you say you're the exception or do people have the wrong perception about a career in art?

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 8 points 9 months ago

Absolutely I recommend it. It teaches analytical and critical thinking and gives you space to develop physical skills. It may not lead to a career as a fine artist but it absolutely has transferable skills. I didn't need to go to art school to become an upholsterer/marine fabricator but I draw on my education daily. I'm a far better designer for the experience.

Keep in mind, I'm not talking about an art history degree.
