Are you thinking about getting an MFA in the arts? Is an art degree worth it?
This video is for artists — not algorithms.
I got my Master of Fine Arts in photography 20 years ago.
I thought it would open doors, build a career, and validate the dream.
In this video, I share what I learned… what I loved… what no one told me… and what I wish I knew before I signed the loan papers.
This isn’t a rant. It’s not a regret-filled meltdown.
It’s an honest story from someone who chased the creative dream hard — and is still trying to make sense of it decades later.
Whether you’re an art student, a burned-out grad, or someone wondering “is it worth it?” — this one’s for you.
🎓 Still broke. Still creating.
