Ok, see pic related

Notice how there are even more music graduates than fine arts graduates who can actually make a living as visual artists

That's not all we complain about Calarts for, or many other schools. It's the price. Calarts is something like $45,000 a year to attend.

>but that's off the mark because if you're here you'll probably need to pursue a commercial art of somesort

The data seems relatively stable across fields of study (all of the anecdotes from the earlier image are character artists, animators and commercial painters for what it's worth-the kind of positions a lot of /ic/ guys covet). Few arts degree students get jobs as artists-though admittedly there's definitely going to be some overlap with "creative workers" and "educators" there.

Of course it does; no memes, those people are absolutely unemployable.

The data is a bit muddled by the preponderance of unemployable contemporary artists/performance artists and because it doesn't consider designers or architects (what I'd consider "applied artists") as artists, nor does it count educators.

Granted, the field of education itself is so widely open-ended that you can't say for sure how many of these people are teaching art in the 'practical sense' (i.e. like Vilppu); I can imagine a lot of the beleaguered degenerate art kids end up pushing their intellectual capacity to its limits teaching english to pre-schoolers for example.
