| notarebel, although I'm a firm believer in arts education and students pursuing BFAs if that is their passion, I'm also realistic about the success in the profession related to the numbers who enter. You can't really compare the number of business graduates and those who become CEO's to the number of BFA grads who become rich and famous actors. First of all, many thousands of business grads become successful (and rich) in steady jobs without ever being a CEO. Secondly, most rich and famous actors do NOT have a BFA. So it's really comparing apples and oranges in that example. I think the students who pursue a BFA for the love of acting are the ones who will be successful and happy, much more-so than those who pursue it for fame and fortune. The latter are likely to be very disappointed. |
