[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom is a theatre teacher at an all-girls school in a big Midwest city. She makes $85K. She has always worked in theatre: theatre production, arts education, nonprofits.

I have a cousin who went to SCAD and works as an illustrator.

Another cousin went to the Art Institute of Chicago and is a photographer who has a huge portfolio and whose work is used in advertising.

A third cousin is a visual merchandiser for a major brand. She went to Pratt in NYC.

My parents really wanted me to pursue dance in college, at a conservatory, but I didn't think it was practical. I have a girlfriend who developed and patented a ballet workout and has a chain of studios.

My sister majored in arts management. She works at the Kennedy Center. 
I'm glad I had the parents and family I did, who value art. [/quote]

This is all very nice but I'm sorry, teaching theater at an all girls school is not "working in theater"  - its teaching. There is a difference and its a pretty big one. Nice salary though.  :D [/quote][/quote]

Meant to post this here:
PP unfortunately, has the competitive "put other's choices and opportunities down" type attitude that you will find is very prevalent in the "art" world. Just ignore pp, there are some very sensible posts here, OP.
