Thread for people who don't like snobby people who put down Art's degree's!!!

I dont mean to sound rude... but doing an art degree to me is pretty pointless...you will waste over 10,000 in student fees then inbetween £10k - £20k on living expenses if u live away from home... this 30k you will never get back from doing an art degree...so my advice is....if you love art...stay in ur room with a canvas and go crazy x

I used to do art but now I do mathematics. Let me just say that maths is so much more beautiful and meaningful than art will ever be. Richard Feynman has a point about art only looks at the flower from an aesthetic point of view. However, if your a scientist you can look at colours and think about spectrum of light or maybe flower reproduces. For example, you would know that flowers use ultraviolet light.

I don't know since the dawn of so called social sciences I don't see the point of art. Art seems so shallow now.


You find maths boring because you have no vision. See if you wanted to play a musical instrument but was only given the scales and you couldn't hear any music then you could wrongly accuse music of being boring. See the language of nature is maths. Although, yeah maths gets interested the higher up you go for example if you study some linear algebra and group theory it gets really interesting. Plus, in uni stuff you will cover stuff like objects in higher dimensions. So yeah, you get to think about stuff like infinity or QM.

I got fed up with everyone making out as if Art's degrees are worth nothing! Would it be better to spend money on doing a degree that we don't enjoy!! The fact is that a lot of jobs such as Graphic Designers and especially things like Architecture you need a degree for, so we want to go to university and get a degree. If you enjoy Law and so you want to go to Cambridge to do Law to be a lawyer then why shouldn't we enjoy an Art's subject and go to a university that offers a lot of good art's courses to get a good job that we will enjoy! What also annoys me is when people say to me, oh you got an A* at GCSE Maths and are predicted A at A Level so why don't you do a Maths degree. Maybe because i would find that boring?! Anyway this isn't to offend people doing my example of Law at Cambridge if that's what they want to do I'm just fed up with being looked down upon! Rant over

Well, I'm Grammar and I'd like my apostrophes back.

i don't really find maths that boring really, not now, i just don't think i could stand doing just maths and not being able to go to my art lessons afterwards!

Why would anyone want to do an arts degree?
It isn't worth the time...

I really didnt mean to sound rude or anything this is just my view on things i understand that some ppl might be annoyed by it..obviously the OP wanted views etc else they wouldnt have posted a thread lol!

I don't mean languages i mena things such as performing arts etc....because you dont even need a degree to go into the jobs you can get with those degrees. I mean i could become an actor if i was good at it, had the right training, interested! i dont need a degree in PA to get the job...where as academic subjects such as medicine etc you cant get the job without the degree so you may aswell put ur time, effort, money into doing something that can get you a good job...and do ur acting or whatever on the side and if it does all go down the pot...you have a good degree to fall back on.

I do
Why on earth would someone do something that they dont enjoy? Are people that blinded by money?
My tutor was Art Director at Penguin, but he didnt enjoy it, so he came to teach us lot, for more than half his pay.

I have the potential to earn loads in my industry, but it doesnt bother me, im just happy to be doing something i love <3
