Being creative is one thing making a career from it is another thing entirely
Arts courses are becoming increasingly popular in the UK as the incentives to stay in education rise. Unemployment and underemployment are rife among young people so many try to stay in education for as long as possible, but are all those arts courses useful.
Of course it depends what the objective of the course is, but if you’re looking for a viable carrer on graduation you might be better off trying something a bit more practical than the majority of arts courses. Personally I think there is huge value in learning about our creative culture and how you can participate in it as an audience member or through making things yourself.
Don’t be surprised if there’s no income on the back of that course though.
