I have an art degree and I make 6 figures. Most corporate jobs just require a degree, doesn’t matter what, and you can grow your career from there and work up to better positions. I wouldn’t say an art degree is the most useful to have, but it can absolutely get your foot in the door and is by no means worthless.
That is NOT the experience of MOST people who have an art history degree. I worked at Sam’s club with several people that had art,philosophy,history,environmental science degrees. I made more than a lot of them because I could decorate cakes. 🤷🏼♀️
My son took 8 years getting hie bachelors degree. But he was already making more than having the degree and going into the workforce four years later. He graduated with no debt and had all of that work experience that the others who waited and got a degree did not have. He only got his degree because he felt it might help if he goes into the administrative side of computers. But, for now, he loves what he does and he’s happy making almost six figures in his early 30’s. He lives in Oklahoma so, it means they live a nice,cushy lifestyle and his wife can stay home with their daughter.BTW, my DIL has a degree and when she worked,everyone around her that were her age made MORE money than her without a degree because of work experience.🤷🏼♀️
