I understand that, but for me, summer holidays are sacred. You can cramp more useless things (think music school or painting) into the rest of the year, but don't you dare touch summer!

Then I grew up and now I think that it's pretty essential to a fulfilled life. Not to material wealth but to personal enrichment. FWIW I'm rubbish at artistic realism and can barely hold a tune singing (I've no sense of rhythm either).
- guard-of-terra 15y agoParticipating in art by consuming or by producing? The latter has a pretty poor performance when done by kids. In the best case they go to music school/painting lessons and earn no skills and no satisfaction and no results; in worse case they show some promise and try to study art only to figure out that they can't live off art and they aren't that good anyway. I was in the first bucket.

- guard-of-terra 15y agoFor some people, including myself, it's both unproductive and not much interesting.
