Being an art hobbyist, I have a lot of artist friends. Most of them I've met online, some of them I know from secondary school after which I haven't seen them much anymore because I did not make the mistake of going to art college with them.
These people are so useless. During their college time they brag about how cool their classes are--by the way the Canadian ones only had classes from September - March. That's a 5 month "summer" break!--and now that they're done with college they can't find jobs and lose their self-esteem and I have to put up with their everyday complaining about how sucky their lives are and how hard it is to tie the ends together. I don't have the heart to tell them it's because they thought going to art school was a good idea though.
Fuck artists. Well, the useless ones. I mean, good artists are pretty great. But also scarce.
