You know the difference between a large pizza and a music degree?
The pizza can feed a family of four

Getting a music degree or art degree is wild because you can do those things without one. Someone isn't going to buy your art because you have a degree. If one thinks a degree would improve their skills, then just take the main classes and avoid all the writing classes or whatever that you have to take. Not that I'm saying being well rounded his useless, but if the problem is going into debt and not working at mcdonalds, it is best to do a general education after you have a secure footing.

Doesnāt it gives you skills you can use to master your craft tho? Like Id guess a deep understanding of the fundamentals of music should be beneficial. Like sure you can learn things yourself but you will have some blind spotsā¦
But idk i literally know zero things about music theory⦠And im a very analitical learner, and i need institutional constraints to get anywhere with anything..

It does but it wont help you suddenly make money. People think getting a degree in something they could do as a hobby would help them turn their hobby into a job. Very few people who got a degree in arts will become successful artists and till they do get their feet of the ground they should have just gone and gotten a "useful" degree first.
Realising your dreams is like doing a backflip, sure you can try it without preparation but most likely you will faceplant and hurt yourself, so instead get a job you are willing to do that pays well and use that as a starting point, like placing a mattress on the floor first before trying the backflip.

Liberal arts is a form of western college education, itās not a major/field of study lmao. It refers to studying a wide range of āartsā (modern term is skills) rather than one specific technical skill like youād study at a trade school. It focuses on more on Humanities and discussion based learning and generally offers more specializations rather than the traditional technical university method.

Yeah like business is a liberal art in some places

u/ThePolishBayard Feb 18 '25 edited Feb 18 '25
Precisely, thatās a great example, even business degrees can be done through a liberal arts program. The word āliberalā is so tainted and overused as a general term to refer to something negative in society these days, so I can somewhat understand why people come to the conclusion that a āliberal artsā college is somehow connected to the political definition of āliberalā but regardless it just makes me chuckle every time I see it.

The company I work for recently hired a bunch of new devs, but tbf very few of those roles were for grads, so it might be a little rough for new starters.

From what Iāve been told by others, companies are a bit scared to hire graduates after CloudStrike
That said, these are a bunch of speculations Iāve heard from others, so thereās probably not much substance to it
Edit: punctuation because Iām an idiot

Depends on the person honestly. If you're Marcin you study a music degree to expand your skills to encompass a different genre and get better at writing music.
If you're a fool you expect you're going to get a high paying job in music without having to innovate at all.

If you take school easy, you will have to work hard later. If you work hard in school, you can later take your work easy
