- quacked 5y agoI don't know why you're being downvoted, I know at least 15 people who got some kind of art degree, they pefer to work brutal late-night shifts at a pizza shop or deliver food/drive Uber than take a spreadsheet jockey temp job, even if it pays 3x as much.
- Matticus_Rex 5y agoMy experience is similar. I know a few who eventually have made the jump, especially once they saw someone close to them do it, but for the most part they've largely been unwilling to do anything that seems permanent/career-ish that isn't what they dreamed of. I get it and sympathize, to a point, but....
- quacked 5y agoThe idea that one's career must bring personal and spiritual fulfillment is one of the most damaging bits of propaganda fed to young people, I think.
