You can be completely average talent wise, get a job at an ad agency and 5-7 years later be a creative director making bank.
Art school can actually be a great investment if you want to do creative work for hire.
- Zyst 7y agoThis is a weird ponzi-scheme like comment. If you are a creative director, you have people working under you. How do you all get to be creative directors?
- aspaceman 7y agoBecause not many people go to art school and pursue that route. You'd be surprised how many high-level creative positions are available, especially in games. It's kinda political to get a position of course. But being an artist is pretty sustainable if you're willing to put out work for a studio of that sort.
- WalterSear 7y agoAn art education is very different from a design education, though they are very often separate tracks at the same institution. IME, the people that wanted to go to art school, weren't interested in what is taught design school, and vice versa.
