Are you a rational artist dedicated to studio arts? Think twice before opting to spend your precious time and money to land a job in fields.

Though a studio art major helps an individual to develop job critical skills such as analytical and critical thinking; design, drawing and digital media skills; ability to create and communicate visually; and creativity, it does not necessarily guarantee a job.

And as per Barbara Safani, owner of Career Solvers and author of ‘Happy About My Job Search: How to Conduct an Effective Job Search for a More Successful Career’, there are lots of drawbacks of this college major. As per her, it can be a challenge to earn a respectable living in this industry and also the skills learned through the program does not have an immediate relevance to the corporate world, which makes it highly repulsive in the eyes of a recruiter in the corporate firm.
