I& #39;ve always been incredibly conflicted about my decision to attend art school. CCS itself has absolutely been the best choice in art schools I could have made, but I find myself questioning "did I need this?" (short thread)
I& #39;m a person who learns best by being self taught and motivated w access to being able to ask questions to ppl more skilled than myself when I need help. So in a lot of ways school has always been very frustrating just being what it is.
I& #39;m more burnt out on creating now than I have ever been in my entire life, I don& #39;t feel set up to do the job I have been preparing myself to do, and I don& #39;t know if I& #39;ll ever use my degree
On the other hand, I& #39;ve met so many incredible friends and teachers, have found passions that I might not have without the resources of the school (CG art and ceramics), and have a non-industry job op because of the school.
I don& #39;t actively regret going to art school despite not ending up entirely clicking with what I thought I& #39;d always wanted to do, and it took me a long time to accept and realize that. I can& #39;t say I& #39;d ever go back in time and change anything, bc I& #39;m happy with where I& #39;m going rn
There& #39;s a good chance I will literally never use my degree or have a creative career, turns out, I really love all of that boring office work that high school me thought I& #39;d hate lol, but maybe I would& #39;ve been the opposite if I& #39;d gone to a regular university?
But also yeah lol if an art school is online only don& #39;t do it. Just wait a year or two for all of this to settle. Nobody cares if you take gap years, I promise no art school is judging you on that for admission lmao we barely look at that stuff at all
