My resume shows I went to an art academy for two years. I worked in art for almost a decade after school but the pay was abysmal no matter what I did. I am technically inclined and a self-taught coder and was able to get a tech job by demonstrating ability during an interview. I doubt my schooling had much to do with it. My trajectory for the last 14 years has brought me to work for a F500 company as a process engineer doing light dev work. I do not believe my Assoc. degree in Fine Art had much to do with it though. Combining tech with art meant that even as a struggling artist I was making enough to never have to wait tables or make coffee.
