Yeah that makes sense. I wasn't aware of US investments in the arts. But wouldn't art or non STEM generally suffer from randomness and power law distribution?

I.e, only a few musicians make it, a few actors make it, compare it with traditional engineering, medicine, accounting, and law as profession.
- Forgeties79 4y agoPeople fail in their professions and pursuits all of the time. There’s no way we can eradicate failure. That being said, the cost of failing and being a musician isn’t as high as failing as a doctor, because you don’t need to take on six-figure debt and nearly a decade of structured education after 12 years of grade school -> high school to become a musician.
