Man, I am not looking forward to paying back this debt to school, but there is nothing Id rather with my life than learning art! I love it more than anything. That being said, if you are trying to learn how to draw, college is not necessary. Yes it will help you get better faster (in some cases) and its really good for those who arent motivated enough to learn on their own, but at the same time, I feel like if youre not motivated enough to learn on your own, even with college, youll never make a career out of it. There is not enough time in a day for me to learn all the things I need to about out, and natural talent will only take you so far.
My goal was to teach when I finished college, and it still is, but now knowing what I know, I want to find a way to teach people who want to learn without having them 100,000 dollars in debt within four years. Of course I dont have it figured out yet, but Im determined to. All I do all day while drawing is try and figure out ways to optimize my learning, and Im going to figure out a way to do that for others too. College is a debt trap, no education is worth 80,000 even if it guaranteed a job, which it doesnt.
