Pursuing a creative arts degree may seem like a bad idea; the career options for those who earn this degree appear limited, to say the least. It’s not impossible, however. In fact, I know a man who has made a great living off his artwork thanks to his art degree. My father, Brant Bollman, is a professional artist. For this article, I asked him for advice he would give to burgeoning art students.

Art careers provide an opportunity to express oneself while also being a potentially lucrative career. Fine Arts majors can pursue their creative interests, learn new mediums, and improve their technical skills.
