ART in the real world

[ What I've learnt is that when you are studying, life is easy. I'm sure some of you reading this may disagree, but it's true. If you think what you're going through is hard, just wait until you are finally out of that door. Because then it will finally sink it. What you ask? Yes, you need a job - one that pays money no less. The reality is, no money = no food, no home, no art art tools or equipment, no exhibitions and horror upon horror, no coffee! In short; no money, no honey. Now where have I heard that before?

Money is a necessity of life. The harsh reality is that if you think that you can walk out of NAFA and support yourself with your art from the word go - you are sadly mistaken. Sorry. Okay? Pause. Relax. Drink a coffee. Depressed? Don't be.

Welcome to the real world outside of academia. So as I was saying - what you need is a job.

All is not lost, luckily coffee drinking, not to mention, creative people are much in demand. Creative people don't just think outside the box (they threw the box away a long time ago), they see things that others don't (I don't mean ghosts!!! I mean solutions, creative solutions.)........]

An article i saw somewhere which i feel its quite nice written. Woot!
