Because chemistry, Physics, and biology are in high demand? It’s not any easier to get a job in any of these fields than it is to get a job in an art field plus academic jobs (what most sciencey types who want to actually do science turn as a career) are actually more plentiful in the art/design field.

Furthermore, aside from the science thing, your advice is also very niave. You dont honestly think someone who devotes their entire time for four years at an art intensive program will be on equal footing in terms of art related job prospects do you. Degree aside, there would be a very noticable difference in ability. Your plan just sounds like a longwinded way to fail. If you dont even bother to make a serious attempt, why even bother at all?
