The problem is what exactly are you studying in art school, if you are studying 3D modeling and design, working artistic software like the adobe ones then sure, but if you are just doing art, then you better be top 1% in the world, otherwise it's going to be very hard to get a good job, hell even just a job, or make money on your own.

@visvini Yeah that's what people have been told for the past 30-40 years and then they wonder why they end up working a job they hate and does NOT allow them to have a comfortable life and if they went to university in the USA they are debt ridden at the same time... Be productive with essential products, and then do your own thing on the side. That's the best advice that can be given to people who want to not live in stress and worries all the time and hate their jobs with a passion. Then again, who knows, living in a trailer isn't a thing in my country, but it always seemed cool to me and cheap to do so too.

@toast_on_toast1270 The people who land their dream jobs at 16 are outliers, but they didn't magically just happen to do it, they did it by focusing on the mastering the skill they needed for that job by NOT going to school as much as possible so they could master their field instead. And the context of the statistic matters, most people who go to university are who want to earn more money, study harder and work harder, compared to people who don't. It's that simple. Most people who finish university don't even work in the field they studied. People need to realize that you start aging at 24-25, you start dying at that age and you are old by the age of 30. This dumb idea from 60 years ago that 30 is the new 20 or 40 is the new 20 is just stupid... I don't want to waste my youth, which I already did, just to come out useless. And unviersities on paper teach you everything and you come out a god of knowledge and skill... on paper... in reality you come out next to useless or useless... Companies in the STEM field hire purely on skill and knowledge... My friends have HR friends who say that they reject more Masters and Bachelors than people without all of them are engineers(well not officially). Google, Amazon and 27 other big companies will no longer take into a count university diplomas after 2025 and have oppened their own courses, because they noticed that people without degrees tend to do better than people with,

@toast_on_toast1270 Or you can start doing what you enjoy at around the age of 10-12 and by 18 you can be a highly skilled and knowledgeable expert in that field and you can work it on medium level, it would also help if you didn't go to school, so you don't waste 6-8 hours of your day learning next to nothing about 10-15 different subjects. Or we can reform the education system so you learn 2-3x subjects in just one sphere, for 2-3x hours each a day, every day of the week and by the time you are 18 you will be a highly skilled and knowledgeable expert in a field and would be able to work in that field on a medium level. Realistically most people can barley get a bottom position job after university(unless they self-educated way beyond the university corriculum), IF they studied in STEM or Finance, Statistics and Accounting. For medicine and law you just get hired with a diploma though.Those who study sociology, theater, English, art, liberal art and such usually can't even find a job in their field, that's why the accronym is STEAL.

@toast_on_toast1270 I have multiple friends who became software enginers, network engineers, mechanical engineers, system administrators, tech supports, before even finishing high school or right after finishing. The hardest part is for companies to make a contract for an underaged person, since they can work a maximum of 22 hours a week by law in my country, but there are many companies that don't mind. But while they were mastering their skill and skipping school, I was forced to stay in school for 8 hours a day + commute... yay...

@toast_on_toast1270 Well because statistically artists struggle a ton without any debt, let alone if you are in the USA and you have debt. I love art, music and films, but people become depressed from stress of not being able to pay the bills and get the groceries. That type of stress is very bad and even deadly. Now if you are a minimalist(which I personally consider myself 75-80% minimalist, so not fully minimalistic) then it's great, you don't have a lot of things to worry about. You can easily become an artist. When it comes to the "education" system, I just had examples of regular people around me, who just didn't follow the system and had their lives setup by the time they were 18-20(when they had worked for 2-3 years) and they are absolutely living the life right now, they have their own apartments, they travel, they play musical instruments and such. Whereas most people barely get their lives together until their late 20s to early 30s, some cases into their 40s. I hate the fact that the "education" system wastes 12-20 years of our lives, our best years on top of that and in the end, if you didn't self-educate light years beyond it, you come out next to useless from it... When in reality you need 2-5 years of dedicaded specialisation to become a highly skilled expert in a field. And you can do that from a young age. Wouldn't it be wondeful if at 16-18 you started working your dream job and at a good position from the get go, not some internship or junior bottom position?

@toast_on_toast1270 Then I don't want to go to university or participate in the education system, I'm saying this after the fact. I don't want to be forced, I don't want people to be forced. I want to go to a place where I can get a job because of my skills and knowledge that I aquired instead of being hired on the aristocracy and authority of a piece of paper. I don't understand why people don't have a problem with not having their life together by 18, hell they don't mind it by 30... The education system was made to bend you to their will to conform and indoctrinate you as much as possible to become a soul dead obedient zombie... Quite literally there were letters of the founders of the current education system where they said that they didn't want thinkers and inventors, they wanted people who were obedient and good enough to operate machines in factories.

@Jaaziar Excellent.

@MrRandomnese Then that makes you the top 1%(or around there), very few artists make any or almost any money from their art on their own, unless it's a corporate job and they usually want artists that can also work with software for both 3D and 2D. Top 1% as in top 1% most successful, this includes more than your art skills as you said yourself.

@gonzalo6890 You become good at a skill and you get hired based on that skill and then you drop out.

@T404-i9w Yes it is, you've been dying for 4-6 years by the time you are 30.

@@tuscan4174 Thanks. It's all by design. The chance of people competing with the big companies and the government must be crushed, otherwise the people in power, won't be in power for too long. And I'm passionate about it, because even though I'm in my mid-20s I see how my life has been wasted, and even though I got a good job now, by the time I become good enough, I'll be too old. Those 17 years could have been used so much more productively both intellectually and physically. You can read Weapons of Mass Instruction, in where they literally cite the letters of the people who invented the current education system and what they said in those letters is that they don't want smart, thinking, capable people, they wanted obedient, soul-dead, conformists that are smart enough to operate the machines, but dumb enough not to ask any questions or think for themselves.

@toast_on_toast1270 Man, youtube sucks at giving notifications. Anyway. Of course people with degrees are historically better off, the people who invented those degrees are the same (type of)companies that require them to allow you to work for them... Go read Weapons of Mass Instruction.

@toast_on_toast1270 University wastes your time, unless you go to a university where rich people go and you network and manipulate them for your own benefit, but again that has nothing to do with the education you get at the university.

@Jaaziar Excellent, it's been a year, so how have you progressed after finishing that 3d modeling course?

@T404-i9w The age of senescence is between 23-25, that's the age your body starts to degrade due to age, by 30 you've been degrading for 5-7 years, you are old, just still capable enough.
