Advice for Future or Present Day Art Majors
Double major in something more practical. Really figure out what you plan to do when you graduate from college. If you want to go into commercial art... learn the software, get an internship, get the necessary qualifications before you graduate. If you want to teach art... talk to your professors about graduate schools and get a clear idea of what your art is about before you get to grad school. Learn something about business. And once again, consider double majoring in something more practical.
Sometimes I find myself filled with so much regret. I wish could go back and start college all over and pick up another major. Maybe major in psychology so I could be a therapist, or education so I could teach kids. I should have taken some business/economics classes. But I wouldn't want to lose the experiences I did have. They were really wonderful. I guess I just wish I did more. I want more. I didn't want to leave academia.
