[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Homework isn't going to influence your life long term. I work with the most amazing artists, designers, creatives, thinkers, and they didn't waste their precious time slaving over worksheets and writing pointless essays. A few didn't even go to college (GASP) and rake it in now. Yes if you want all APs and to go to a top school sure, slave away. But life experience, co-ops, internships, networking, street smarts go a long way IMHO.[/quote]

Honestly it depends. I know many creative people who are under employed and struggling financially. I think people romanticize the creative life. That said, I don’t like to kill anyone’s dreams or natural talents so go for it, just keep financial expectations in check.

Agree. DD gets her music lessons from a virtuosic player who is also a top teacher for the instrument in the area, and their life is one long hustle. The last two aspiring dancers I know, one injured herself and thank goodness her dad insisted on a practical degree, because she had a backup plan, and the other is working ticket sales. It is exceedingly difficult to make a decent living as a creative, doing creative things.[/quote]
