He actually did GO to Calarts but had left straight away to work at Disney if I recall correctly (and never had trouble finding work as far as I know); he's just saying that without any real logical reason to. Maybe he really would have liked "the experience®" but he's probably just being diplomatic for the sake of his readers.

In the midwestern U.S. a studio apartment costs around $700 monthly, and with many other costs considered (many of which would not be lumped in with a university's debt, like food) I figured $15k annually was a fair estimate. I removed that portion of the post because it wouldn't be topical or possible for everybody nor would it necessarily be desirable anyway (though I've heard of anons musing about the idea on this board).

There is a lot you could hypothetically do with the tens of thousands of dollars (+interest) that you'd otherwise spend on art school, it should be the very, very last resort. If you're attending art school before having given it your all on your own for at least 3-5 years you're making a grave mistake.

>Most of the artists in the image are anomalies

Not really, it says right there (and this is, once again, based on census data, not a survey or anything like that) that only 16% ( or 1 out of 6) of working artists are arts graduates, making the people in this image very typical - just well known.

>Overall its biased and realistically most artists don't go to art school in the hopes of making big bucks as a showing artist in the first place.

So you're saying artists are deranged enough to blow tens of thousands of dollars "to get better at art" and not expect or even intend to get jobs as artists after the fact?
