This is the mantra of countless young Americans overloaded with debt and unable to find employment that can provide for a home and a family.

The American higher education system has another word for them...

SUCKERS.[/quote]

I'm guessing you lack the creativity it takes to understand and appreciate a degree in the arts. Suggesting that it is only graduates with a degree in the fine arts who are having a difficult time finding jobs neglects the fact that there are thousands of college graduates who majored in business, accounting, political science and countless other majors who are having difficulty finding jobs. Also, from a statistical standpoint alone I bet more of the debt problems are happening with kids who majored in an area that you would have defined as acceptable (i.e. business) - simply from the fact that there are more people majoring in those fields. Not as many people have the creativity and/or drive to major in the fine arts (or they have parents who don't understand it…)

Also, you do realize that a degree in fine arts can be more than simply a major in painting, right…? Maybe a little education about the subject and possibilities would serve you well.[/quote]
