Is a degree for art useless?

TrinityDownpour @TrinityDownpour (790) • Liechtenstein 17 Apr 13

What's your opinion on the degree for art? Somehow I don't see the point in pursuing a degree for illustration art because I have after I finished with my art major. A diploma is all I need. What it's needed the most in the...

Monkeyrose In the economy of the country I live in an Arts Degree would be pretty useless. However having a BA in anything is pretty useless as well. You usually need to do more training. A lot of people I know do a degree and then do a two year technical program. It...

Do you like all inclusive?

maximax8 @maximax8 (31053) • United Kingdom 21 Dec 12

I don't like to go on an all inclusive vacation because traveling independent brings money into the local community. Tourist money can give a foreign place valuable funds. Some all inclusive hotels are owned by rich westerners. If...

Monkeyrose I think that there are many different forms of travel. These forms of travel vary with the person. Some people are more independent than others. I used to go on a lot of All inclusive and tour type vacations. I recently went to Ireland and planned it all...

OpinionatedLady @OpinionatedLady (5966) • United States 23 Feb 12
