One thing that I dont think gets talked about enough in the art school vs. self-taught professional artist debate: I can't count the number of jobs/opportunities I've gotten thanks to the friends & network that I made at art school.

It shouldn't be the deciding factor, but I sure as hell didn't graduate starting with no network. And now, a bunch of my old classmates are industry pros and it's fucking rad to see them succeed and meet up with them at conferences

Also something that isn't touched on much--professors as a network who can connect new alumni with old Also also--professors who still work in the industry and can connect students directly with jobs/opportunities Who knows your work/work ethic better than a professor?

Basically to say: art school is stupid-expensive, but perks & network from a reputable school can be massive & take time to emerge Also also also: don't be a dick in college because your peers and professors Will Remember That
