Oh, please. Have you ever seen cardboard models created by architecure students? They are mindblowing. 25 years ago this was the only way they could show their ideas (I assume it is computer-generated stuff today). The creativity and dexterity of these artists was something to behold.
“Arts” are like “sports”: a lot more people try than can reasonably expect to succeed. It would be interesting to know what percentage of successful people in “arts” - drama, visual, musical, anything I’ve missed - got a college degree in that field, and what percentage of people who got an arts degree have used their education professionally. Even in today’s economy, not everyone who goes to college intends or needs to use their education to earn a living.
I use my management degree (which included accounting, finance, law, and real estate) for basic survival, with a nuclear family of 12 plus elderly parents, and my Spanish classes for the church, but if I had the chance to do my college years again, I would take some vocal performance classes, and maybe piano, instead of four semesters of Asian history, cool as that was, because it would be more useful now.
