Liberal Arts and the job market

[Strapping Young Lad]

I'll be coming out of VCU with an Illustration degree in about six months, and lord knows I have no idea what the hell I'm gonna do once I'm finished. Lord also knows my mother earns less than 20K a year and the government is paying my ENTIRE way through.

Putting up with customers, whether serving them food, stocking the shelves they buy things from, upgrading their computers, setting up their servers, or gathering their prescription medicine is one sure thing that will end up putting a bullet in my brain, however. I'd rather chase my own dreams my entire life unsuccessfully than pretend to be happy with a more "useful" degree doing something I'd rather not be doing.
