If you are feeling nervous about pursuing a degree in the arts, I have a story time for you:

I was at my dad's work, and he introduced me to one of his coworkers. In usually small talk fashion, this coworker asked me what I was studying. I told him I was studying dance. Usually I get one of two responses from people when I say this: people who look kind of concerned and immediately start asking what jobs I can get, or people who act like it's a cutesy "fake" degree. This coworker had a new one. My dad's coworker, a guy with a PhD in physics, told me that dance was a good field to be studying, because no dance job will get replaced with AI.

Your studies are important. They are crucial. Because the human spirit can never be removed from the arts. Take that leap, apply to that arts program. The arts are a good field to be studying.

Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what's inside you, to make your soul grow.

sometimes I regret studying abroad... I often feel like it was a mistake and I just wasted all my money on studying abroad only to end up back to my home country since I can't stay... another thing I regret is transferring schools when I was about to start secondary school. I also partially regret studying PR... (I think I should've done a more arts degree and not give a fuck about there not being any jobs for it after graduation). I don't really care about going into harder fields like business administration and marketing just because I studied PR lmao.

I was beginning an Arts degree, majoring in Philosophy, hoping to discover during my tertiary studies a way of rationally defending the faith I held so dear.

Hi! Do you know what jobs you can apply for with an Arts degree?

D’you ever wonder if the reason for cuts to the Arts in nearly every high school and university is because they realized that those are basically the gateway drug to imagining how we might dismantle our poisonous, capitalist world and create something better, or is that just me?
