I somewhat agree, arts are not appreciated enough nowadays (I'm in stem btw). There is a lot of value to things being beautiful and easily workable.

>not practicing your art until you excel at it
>not realizing most people start dirt poor in their jobs
>not realizing society will be post-scarcity soon, then people can focus on art, philosophy, etc. without worrying about being poor

What a dumb reply

Arts were only intended to be studied by those of the upper classes, because they had family money to rely on for their education. This includes arts subjects like Economics, Politics, Philosophy, Law, etc.

The sciences were to be studied by the poor to be able to provide for their family and be bread winners.

Something changed and now it's flipped, the rich study the sciences and the poor study the arts, I do not know why it has become so, but it is so.

Now the arts studies keep people poor due to lack of financial backing, but the science studies make people richer because of technological advancements and our dependence on them.

The people who have financial backing and study arts, they'll be the thinkers of the future, the philosophers, the next Plato's and Aristotles. Those who studied arts without the financial backing will become peasants.

Those who studied sciences will work with those who studied arts and have money, to rule the working class in the future, because of the knowledge of humans that the arts majors hold, using the technological advancements that the science majors bring.

Utopia basically

You're not defined by your degree. However, you can use, say... the art history you learned in a MFA to give you insight into market trends or mass psychology pertinent to business strategy, or maybe the narrative and presentation techniques you learned in a theater degree to learn how to present and sell a product.

If you achieve nothing with your art degree: that's your fault.

Basically this.

Arts degrees are also the fourth (maybe 3rd) most popular degrees for Investment Bankers.

Can also be useful for Consulting, especially on historic projects, or for pharmaceuticals, or for marketing departments.

>a better tomorrow is directly dependent upon the ideas of the artists
False
>a better tomorrow is directly dependent upon the ideas of the innovators of today
True. Since, you know, the actual innovators are in STEM.

>who will be left to design the future?
Scientists, engineers, programmers.

If you want to be an artist, you first have to make money.

You should always be determined to use your skills to make it profitable. Cut the 'I le want to save the world' bullshit, you either make bank or die out of starvation. It's basic human instinct
