damn that's a really good drawring. Are you Mr. Moai by chance?
>Most colleges apart from art or trade schools are considerably more affordable
I thought trade schools were cheaper than bachelors degrees? Does a trade school cost as much as an art program?
>This is the false dichotomy we're often given that if we don't go to college for art we HAVE to go to college for something else and I say-perhaps, but not until you give yourself some years to make a serious go at it if you actually care.
I think back to when I was young and went to my university program straight out of HS. DESU I don't regret it since I had such terrible mental health issues at the time that had I gone to art school instead of stem, I would have very likely crashed out. I know I wouldn't have been able to handle the criticism, and probably not the workload. Had I not gone to uni and instead stayed home, I just know I would have spent all the time playing vidya and doing sinful acts to myself. Even though my life has been an abject failure by every measure, I still became more mature as I got older. My emotional self regulation got better and I am able to control my cravings and impulses easier.
Maybe getting a shitty job at McDonalds would have really motivated me to try hard in art, but maybe it could have had the opposite effect. Maybe I would have been so miserable that I would have fallen further into my addictions.
