In Defense of Art Degrees (self.MGTOW)

kurga_nova が 投稿

We have some younger guys here who often ask what they should do with there lives. It's also fairly common to trash special sneauflakes who think the world owes them a living because of their bachelor's in Guatemalan Women's Art from 1940 to 1941. However, this does not mean you should rule out pursuing art or music .

If you are a guy who can draw and enjoys it, by all means go to art school. An accredited art school mind you, not one of those for profit scams like the Art Institutes. Go to Pratt. RISD. One of the museum schools. Or, if you are lucky enough to have chill parents, build your own curriculum and be selective with your education. The degree doesn't get your foot in the door in the art world, your portfolio does.

Understand though it is real fucking work making it as a professional artist. I work 10 hour days at my commercial design job and then usually a couple of nights a week doing freelance illustration. It is a grind and I am by no means getting rich, but I have escaped the cubicle and I do what I love.

MGTOW is about going your own way. If you want to get rich and are left brained, STEM is the way to go, but if you are creative and talented, by all means, don't be afraid to pursue art or music as a career.

Now back to our regularly scheduled manosphere programming.

I'm not in art but if I were, I'd probably firstly pursue internet marketing and learn how to market myself online and study what it takes to make a viral hit / become a sensation online. Maybe start a YouTube channel to both educate upcoming artists in my field and show off my own projects. Slowly build up my portfolio and use my page as a way to sell myself. Then again I've never been much of a school person so I'd probably try everything other than actually going to school, lol.

If you're in high school and you don't know what you want to do with your life, going to get a BA is a reasonable choice. I know that's not the trendy thing to say, but it's still true. A BA is still a useful credential, especially as you climb the corporate ladder. It's not that it will get you a job (it won't) but it will get you past the first cull of resumes. Don't underestimate the importance of that.

You can go to a community college after the BA and learn some practical skills. Or you can try different jobs in the summers to try to find your niche.

Look, if you're passionate about STEM, go do that. If you know you want to work in the trades, skip university and do that but if you're like I was and had no fucking clue what you wanted to do, a BA gives you a few years to figure it out.
