Absolutely not.
I came here just to make a thread about this actually. Specifically, for art. DO NOT MAJOR IN ART.
You'll hear it from non-art people, but the art schools and the small handful of people you see doing anything in the art field will make it sound like it's possible and there's a lot of work to go around. They are lying or their perspective is skewed because they work around the other people who've succeeded.
They'll tell you you have to work really hard and try to get better and better, and then one day it'll pay off, but that's not true. It does NOT pay off unless you're world-class, and only then if you're part of the social scene that's looking for new talent. Someone's nephew, cousin, girlfriend, etc. will always beat you out of a job, regardless of skill level, and if you're looking to get into art for entertainment (making cartoons, movies, etc) just forget about it. There is MORE to that than there appears to be, and it's not pretty. The "cool bunch of guys" behind all your favorite shows are the slimiest most horrible people you'll ever meet. I had the displeasure of being tangentially involved with some of them, and I can tell you that the things that go on behind the scenes, and the ways those people are who seem like they'd be so cool and fun to work with, it's NO GOOD. You might be the kind of person who could stand it, but expect to be literally ruining peoples lives, using your art to drive innocent people crazy because the people paying for your show want them kept quiet.
You're not supposed to know about that kind of stuff, but it's a large component of what goes down on EVERY show you see on TV, and the majority of the prominent things you see online. If you don't believe it, you're better off. Enjoy the show. But there's more to it, and it's an absolute nightmare. There is no one working in the industry who's not a sadistic and hedonistic antagonist. They are horrible people who do horrible things, and dress them up to look nice to you, the audience, while they terrorize people you've never heard of.
Anyone who tries to speak out on it (like, tell anyone) gets diagnosed as literally insane, and it's been this way for a very long time. There's a whole hidden world behind that screen that you don't see, and it is ugly. Absolutely ugly.
And that's what runs the art world, on a pro level, where you'd be getting a regular paycheck. It's like the worst of Anonymous (the pet killing, privacy invading, and mass-stalking part) with unlimited financial resources and total immunity. They do horrible things to people in secret, and make jokes about it that the audience doesn't get, that seem like jokes about other things, but it's all to push the buttons of the people they've chosen to victimize. That's the entertainment industry.
You should know this before you go into debt for thousands of dollars trying to get "good enough" to break in. You don't want in, and nothing they teach you in that degree program is going to help you anyway.
I wish I would have skipped college completely, stuck with a retail job and worked my way up to management or something. I'd be living a much better life right now. As it is, I tried to stick with the art, and I regret it. It's the most tedious, time-consuming, and overall least rewarding hobby a person can have, and there's nowhere worth going that it can take you professionally.
The set of every movie, commercial, etc. you see is a porn movie that may or may not have made it to tape. That's what you're looking at. All those celebrity marriages are fake, for the cameras. So are their publicized addictions, illnesses, etc. Everything they do is fake. On the other side of that screen, it's a fuckfest. A spiteful one made to torment anyone it can, because that's all that gets them off anymore.
If drawing pictures or whatever keeps you occupied and you like it for now, for yourself, that's great. Keep at it. But don't waste a single moment trying to improve to become a professional, because it's a hopeless and terrible world that's not worth the effort. You're worried about your line weights and shit, while they've got the girl you like bent over your car getting assfucked by two guys who do the carpeting or carry the camera equipment. You're worried about writing just the right line for the girl doing blow in her trailer with the male lead to come out and say like 15 times before she gets it right, and she's just waiting for the sex scene, because that's when the full orgy party starts for the cast and crew. Your trying to make your science fiction as accurate as possible, so that the models can come out and recite it before they go back to getting blown by the other models. So you can sign over your work to the company who's paying for it all, they can change it to shit that doesn't make sense or have anything to do with what you wanted to achieve artistically, you get no pay because you're just ghost-writing for a "writer" who's going to slap his name on what you and like 30 other dudes have come up with, separately, far away from the party, and you'll never see a dime while that guy whose name is on it takes a vacation with his "lovely wife" who's really just some other guy's girlfriend, but now All-Star Writer has offered her a trip to where ever, so they're fucking in fancy hotels over tropical island drugs you can't get here. She's getting her pussy fucked by a line of dudes, laughing about it, and she won't remember any of it. The guy who was dating her is still working on his manuscript, so he can "finally make it".
Don't be any of those people. Just walk away.
