[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, my dd loves drawing, painting, ceramics, photography. She also loves museums and galleries. I want her to find a school where she can foster her love for these areas and be around other arty kids and adults, while also getting a broad based liberal arts degree. [b]And not break the bank[/b] (I’m looking at you art schools in NYC).
She seems to like a bigger school, but I’ll have her check out anything that might fit the bill.

Thanks for the replies[/quote]

Not to be a Cassandra, but unless you are wealthy and able to substantially support your kid after their art degree is over, this is mostly likely not a route your kid wants to go down. [/quote]

I have an art degree and make over 200K a year. No one wealthy was supporting me. I started off as a graphic designer and now lead a design team.[/quote]

How much were you making after graduation? Also assuming you did not go to grad school. That 200k can be after many years of employment. [/quote]

Most people do not come out of college making $200,000 a year right away.  It takes years.

Some people have to be reminded that not everyone is interested in jobs based on who makes the most money.   They are looking to do what they love and what they’re good at.  My daughter just finished a BFA in NYC.  These students are incredibly resourceful in making money in NYC despite the high costs. Her classmates are varied, some middle class, some wealthy, some struggling.   They are doing what they love. [/quote]
