So I have a dilemma. Basically do I stay at Puget Sound then art grad or just go to Art School. Pros of staying: I get some degree (or two) that is cool and interesting, like comp sci/communications and learn something I didnt know before. Ill be more attractive on a resume and that can get me a higher paying job since comp sci is really $$$$ and whatnot. Also WA is √√√ state and weather wise and I like that. Cons of staying: Schools art program SUCKS and I have been pretty much self taught my entire life, other than three pre college classes I took at AAU...but even then those didnt really help I dont think since it was 2 years ago. I feel like Im drowning almost without creativity I guess. I feel like Im wasting my time over stuff I dont really have a drive for so I JUST get a degree. If I just keep doing commissions and drawing how I do now, I dont think I will improve at the rate that I need to in order to even consider WANTING to submit a portfolio to an industry. Pros of leaving Puget: I get to go do what I want and I will improve indefinitely quicker. I will be able to draw more, and ironically draw more freely since it would be all conceptual ideas instead of just online commission work. People online as well as AT SCHOOL have said why are you even here, which totally makes me go hhhh in the fact that I dont even think I should be there. Another pro would be I would get to meet more people with my talent and learn from my peers in something that I actually want to succeed in, as opposed to OH GOOD B+ ESSAY YAY. Ill also leave behind a LOT of drama that I didnt want but I was unfortunately wrapped into. Cons of leaving Puget: A lot of my best friends are there as well as the BAE and whatnot. I do not know where I would be going for art school school, but it looks like the Bay Area is a good place given the mass of art HQs around (Dreamworks, Pixar, Zynga, etc). Its just troublesome bc I dont want to start all over again with new people and friends, but I did it in high school (lmfao) so Im pretty certain I can do it again. TL;DR People at school and online ask me if Im going to school for art because they too recognize that I have some type of creative ability, especially when thats all they really can see from me. Just need help solidifying some type of opinion that I cant really see right now. I dont want to just bail on UPS bc i feel like thats an easy way out bc wow ur just using ur talent and thats it yet if I do, I would soar and be motivated to do something with my life as opposed to just picking a degree off a list because it looks cool. I dont plan on doing what my mom did and just get a degree bc its cool then be a housewife no, not at all lol. I do not want that life nor that academic path. Help lol.
