That advice is crazy. People should drop fine arts altogether unless they’re on track for national level recognition? That’s just messed up. (And if people are taking that advice, how many of them are achieving that level of recognition at something else after giving up something they love? For that matter, how many of these counselors have ever met their own standard? If they had, wouldn’t they be off somewhere being a star instead of dispensing toxic advice to high school students?)
