<p>For data regarding careers in the visual arts, take a look at this study done by the Indiana University and Vanderbilt: [Snaapshot</a> | SNAAP: Strategic National Arts Alumni Project](<a href=“http://www.snaap.indiana.edu/snaapshot/]Snaapshot”>http://www.snaap.indiana.edu/snaapshot/). Although “hustle” can be seen as a negative, if you use your connections, beginning with your professors and fellow alumni, you will never be stuck in a boring project. It is true, that you have to have a certain spirit to pursue your career, but as the data in the SNAAP survey shows, the job satisfaction is very high.</p>
