[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Author is pretty stupid if she thinks she can pursue a BFA. That's a huge luxury. Taking on debt for a BFA, she knew what she was doing -- she was just choosing to do something really stupid (in her circumstance)[/quote]

Art is not a luxury! I got my BFA and MFA and I have German cars (referencing another PP), a nice SFH in a close-in suburb, retirement accounts, and college savings for my kids. Zero help from my parents after high school. Author just seems out of touch and unable to monetize her malaise.[/quote]

A friend of mine also has her MFA and as a graphic designer got laid off during the dot com bust, became an independent contractor, became a single mother not by choice, and ... constantly scrambled for work, never had health insurance, and could barely afford her computer to do her work. let alone do continuing education to keep up with advances in graphic design. She is now stuck being a part-time bartender, despite having a Master's degree. She is barely making it. I don't think she ever has enough money to pay rent on time. [/quote]
