In this video we will go over the best and worst art degrees and art majors and rank them via a tier list from S tier (good) to F tier (very, very bad)
----------
In this video we will be going over different art related major and college degrees that are commonly pursued and whether they're worth it or not from a personal finance perspective. Most of the time the answer will be no because the numbers just aren't good for these degrees. That doesn't mean you should give up on your art career dreams, it just means that a degree might not be the best idea in order to help you get to your goal.
In this video we will be talking about art majors such as interior design, graphic design, fashion design, animation, 3d animation, architecture, film, textile design, industrial design, theatre, dramatic arts, illustration, music, photography, art history, fine arts, and painting

I hate the idea that art majors and art universities are so insanely expensive if you want a high level education but you aren't guaranteed an annual salary even close to the tuition you ended up paying. It's insane

[@user-vs3gc4cn3t]

Yeah the things is, usually you’re going to go there to find what art you’re going to pursue in. If you found one like painting or animating, it’s better to just develop your own skill on your own or people on the internet( there plenty of artist to go there just and plenty of online classes which plenty of them are free, just look for the right video or see their art). And develop online skill there and make art friends that can also help you. Success is dependent on how much you advertise or having to go to companies and studios( in which most of them will look at your portfolio, and degree usually don’t matter) or make your own collaboration studio( which can be just your art friends). If you’re taking animation the studio is optional and online can be possible.

When you get an art degree remember that you are getting the degree for the skills and mentorship and you are essentially an ENTREPRENEUR. You can be very successful but the real problem is a lot of creative people are not good business people and don't know how to sell their talent. If you don't want to be an entrepreneur and want a regular 9 to 5 job where you just get a paycheck, get a degree in something more generic and practical

[@portapotty69]

That's very true. Many art students I know failed to see the importance of finding a marketable niche. And many also lack the drive to be an entrepreneur. I hesitate to say it has to do with a lack of "talent," because any art school grad should have at least a few tricks up their sleeve that can be brought to market.

Me just wanting to go into illustration in the future

[@demenntedDolphinn]

i was going to major in fine art or illustration until i realized that was a bit silly (the art school i had in mind would have sent me into 40k debt minimum) so i settled for graphic design at my (much cheaper) state school with hopefully no debt. not exactly what i had in mind but i still like it, and it actually has demand and the possibility of a stable position. maybe not the most valuable degree in the world, but we can't all be brain surgeons or engineers. i'd rather make a decent living doing what i enjoy every day than make six figures doing something i hate every day. my backup plan is tattooing, so i'm continuing to build my illustration skills on the side.

.... art teachers are usually artists.

[@jz2043]

art professors are usually highly trained artists.. you're paying for that mentor-ship and hands on experience. thats kinda the point..

[@AlexxWoodwick]

I agree. I only know a select few people who make and sell their artistic creations for a living and none of them have an art degree. It’s more of a personal passion that works because they are incredible artists. It’s seems the people who go to college to get an art degree end up doing some random shit instead of what their degree is in. Seems like a giant waste of money. My first year of college I took some art classes that left me unfulfilled and angry as I was also working full time to pay for the classes.

[@msg360]

as a professional artist for 10 years doing graphic design /animation... I will say it is definitely possible to live a decent life doing art... but you need to learn and have technical skills .. and it won't be easy to find jobs, because every other artist is trying to get the same job and this field is very neitch .... I had jobs where I made 14 an hour starting out and 27 an hour in my later career..now I plan my next job to make 50 an hour or 100k a year.... my advice is to learn more technical skills ... learn the stuff that most artists doesn't like or is scared to get into like...Development /programming-computer science, video editing, 3d modeling /animation, UI/UX Design,Cad Etc.. I know this is not art ... but if you have technical abilities it will help you land a higher-paying art job in the tech world... it's why I got into programming... look I wanted to make animations on tv , or anime, etc but does job only like 5-10% of the artist make it into that career path .... and it's not as glamours as it may seem a lot of OVERTIME.... a lot of companies work their artist and animators like work mules etc especially in japan. The same thing can be said for the Video game industry where animators, artists 3d modeling, etc all work crazy hours ... I feel like the software industry or commercial industry is the best place for a modern digital artist these days.. find out more on fine art and illustration /cartoon training on my youtube @midorisArtpage and mrmidori85 on tik tok, sorry no technically training there

Great feedback Prince, would you say getting a degree is worth it or no? Cheers!

[@msg360]

@@ShaneHummus yes becuase as a digital artist in modern times.. you start off as a jr designer... and usually to become a senior designer you need 5+ years of experience.. while you dont need a degree to accomplish this , if you want to further advance your career as a art director or creative director often times you need 5+-10 years of experience plus a formal art degree... not all companies ask for one but alot do have it as a requirement ..... and i'm all about options so if the degree gives me options than its worth it in the end..

@@msg360 so say, if i want to be a 3d modeler, what degree do i study?

[@msg360]

@@levi9922 There are not many degree's that are focused and just in 3d modeling , when it comes to 3d its usually bundled with another area of focus , like animation .. for example my major was like a jack of all trades major or dual major... the title is 3d computer animation & interactive media... meaning i studied 3d modeling, 3d animation, 2d animation, graphic design and web design... with some video editing in there... the majority of work was in 3d... but we learned everything else also... while in school i learned that i didn't like 3d as much,,,,,, yeah it was fun the modeling and animation ... but towards the end i found myself liking 2d web animation more or graphic design.. that the best part of a dual major you get to see what you like the most. the problem with dual majors is you really don't get enough time to focus on what you like the most becuase you have to do everything in a short amount of time... the good thing is , that with my degree i can get animation jobs 3d jobs and graphic design jobs... graphic design jobs being more practical , now there are schools that just focus on 3d modeling but there are few of them.... most of the schools will teach you a general workflow of 3d animation so it will be , 3d modeling , texturing, animation, and rigging... all of these are so complicated that they can be their own majors and there are their own position in the workplace.. my advice is find a major that teaches you all 4 and that allows you to focus on 3d modeling for your thesis project.. that way, your strongest work will be 3d modeling ,,,,, but you learned how to do the other stuff in 3d so if you can't find a job doing 3d modeling then maybe you can be a animator or a texture person etc.. the problem with my major is that they wanted us to create a thesis project, which was suppose to be a short story in 3d.. we only had 1 semester to learn everything and the second semester to learn some more while the last 8 weeks working on the project.. which is not enough time to do anything great with 3d modeling , animation , rigging and texturing ... my degree program is a 4 year but you can transfer form another 2 year school etc which is not the best thing to do in 3d world.....some degree's allow you too have a thesis thats just in modeling you need to find one like that but also learn the other things i mentioned ... becuase in the job market sometimes you will be asked to help out in other areas ...

So conclusion: Most Art degrees ARENT actually “useless” just that it’ll be harder to find a relevant job and get a stable salary off of them. Oh and debt. Also as much as Dance is undercut in this video I will say that in my experience, there IS potential to make a living out of being a dancer/teacher/choreographer/studio owner. Though the dancers that book the most and teach at the major dance conventions and make the “most” money out of dance.... yeah they don’t have dance degrees. MAJOR ETA: BUT with COVID, COVID has widely wiped out the dance, acting, and theatre industries. Knowing this would you suggest for incoming college kids to major in these degrees now or would you steer them away?

Cost is definitely THE MOST important thing to consider, especially if, as you mentioned, debt hinders future opportunities. But sometimes the extra expense will pay off depending on the school/program itself (and your skill level I guess). Many graduates are recruited from high caliber arts schools/programs. I went to a HS and college where we had access to private auditions with companies and agencies as well as work/performance opportunities as part of our training. The same resume-building opportunities are not the same if you're trying to make it on your own, especially in concert dance.

[@NinoMesarina]

Good Concept artists earn tons of money, thats a good career but also one of the hardest. You can earn a lot of money and have fun at work as an artist as long as you put the time and effort to learn how to draw well to be able to turn objects in space and if you learn how to solve design problems with your drawing skills. Also, add 3D skills such as modelling and sculpting and you automatically become a high value professional for the entertainment industry and more. Ive known concept artists that earn around 500 k a year working for the film and game industry. others that earn a lot as well working as weapon designers, vehicle designers and much more. A good artist is not someone who smokes weed and have random ideas. A good artist is someone who can solve problems and communicate them with clear and grounded ideas with a visual language to help industries create new physical or digital products. No artists means no films, no games, no vehicles, no planes, no buildings, no machines for water treatment, no machines for medical purposes, etc. Its all about going for the hardest skills to develop and working hard and smart to acquire those skills. Thats what makes an artist become valuable in many industries and be able to earn pretty good money in the process.

[@federicovazquez9011]

When I was young I always wanted to draw cartoons, and I thought animation would be cool to work in. But the fact that many art schools are for profit spells a huge gamble for debt. I found out you don’t technically need an art degree in animation (although for some people they want to if they want a structured routine and networking opportunities in school). There are some online courses like Animation Mentor that can help students learn how to get into the industry.

I met a lot of actors or wannabe actors in catering/restaurant. It became so common that the supervisors and management staff kept telling us : "We are working this is not the time to hand out your acting/business cards or chatting with directors to land a gig, they are here to have fun and relax not for work" "Please act with a smile and treat this event as if you are acting and putting on a show smiling, never frown and take a hit if a guest is rude to you just let it go and kill them with kindness" "This is your time to shine" It really got to the point

Quick correction about architecture: there is a difference between a bachelor of science/art, with a major in architecture, and a B.Arch. the first, only takes 4 years and if you want your license, you have to get a masters. The second, typically takes 5 years but you will be eligible to take your licensing exams. Take it from some one who thought she would do fine with just an associates in arch. Its about as useful as a high school diploma.

[@moezmedia98]

Some of these I can from the skills that I acquire as a civil & arch engineer, i.e. interior design, graphics design, illustration and even industrial design

[@LYRlyrianhwang]

One thing about Graphic Design. if you're working In-House, or in angency, YOU HAVE NO CREATIVE CONTROL MOST OF THE TIME. There's either lots of intervene by clients / employers, or your art director / head of team. There are some places that do offer some sort of creative freedom. but most doesn't. Meaning what ever shit happens, you'll almost always taking the blame. If you're planning going into the graphic design industry, freelancing is the better option here. At least you can set your own terms, & you can directly communicate with your clients

Something a lot of people don't know about graphic design is that it isn't just the designing part that's our job, we have to write creative briefs and design branding projects to give a flow of what we want and could need, we have to manage time and deal with the hassle of other people not doing their job and putting us into a heavy crunch period. Graphic Design is writing, and managing a timeline and then being forced into a 2 week crunch for a project that would take a month and a half.

[@dandansoysauce8762]

Getting a degree in animation at a public school with a pretty good art program. You don't need a degree to get into the industry (unless you're going into teaching), so a public school is good enough to make projects for a portfolio and have some networking, especially if the school is so close to LA. And it's easy to pay off the expenses so there is 0 debt. Boom, everyone is happy. Also could you do History/Social Studies related degrees if you haven't already?

I actually am going to be starting school for graphic design soon. Always wanted to do something creative and a shitty few years kinda slapped me hard enough to start college again. 2 years at community, then 2 at a state uni which will hopefully let me graduate debt free (along with a part time job of course). I am thinking about a trade instead maybe but I just...feel drawn to being creative. It's stimulating for me.

The small bit of animation studies that i did i actually found the most enjoyable so i think that animation would be fun if you plan on doing it as a degree but I heard the animation industry isnt very well-paid from where i live (australia) though and it isnt very sought for. by all means, if you like animation, do it, people will hire especially if you have the passion and dedication for it

Me being a graphic design major and a multimedia artist is probably the best and smartest thing I’ve done. I love creating but could never contain myself with one way of doing it, and I also love computer science so will probably major in that at a community college down the line. I’m someone who never had the privilege of doing art extracurriculares so mostly did it when I was home, and even tho it’ll put me in hella debt for a piece of paper, I believe a 4 year does me Justice when branching to networks and allowing myself to build my skill and portfolio using the schools gadgets

Graphics is visual design for a 2d screen/paper closely tied to it and media while interior design/architecture is 3d spatial design tied to 3d and construction. See which one attracts you more.
