Every year another batch of college students receive useless degrees in liberal arts. I’m not saying that to antagonize anyone who got one of those degrees. And I’ll explain why (or when) they’re useless in a minute.
Liberal arts is one of three useless degrees I’ll mention.
But, again, I’ll explain what I mean by useless in a minute. Because, believe me, I love the arts and artistic people. But liberal arts, film studies, and creative writing (including journalism) are not degrees I’d recommend to any person who’d like to make a living in the arts, film, and writing.
Because most people will do nothing with those degrees. And that’s because they’re almost guaranteed to come out of college with a degree and NO idea how to use what they learned to make money. You can’t simply be artistic and make money in the arts. You can’t simply study films and filmmaking and make money in movies. And you can’t simply be an awesome writer and make money writing.
“The real trouble with film school is that the people teaching are so far out of the industry that they don’t give the students an idea of what’s happening.” That’s a quote from Brian De Palma. He’s a well-known screenwriter and movie director. So, he probably knows a thing or two about the subject.
OK, enough of that. I think you get the point.
Most students, who major in those courses, turn their degrees into expensive, yet worthless, pieces of paper. Because they have no clear cut vision for what to do with them. Or they don’t have a plan, a System, to help them stay on track. So, they certainly don’t know how to take a creative endeavor and make money with it.
If you’re comfortable living in your parents’ house, or sleeping on a friend’s sleeper sofa, or staying some place somebody else is paying for, then skip my advice. Don’t read any further. Seriously, click out of this page now.
