That makes more sense to me than graphic design or tax credits for students. Especially when the majority of post-secondary students are taking programs that will never give them an economic advantage.
Yes but remember that each kid is special and will always be protected. I blame the parents for not focusing their offspring into the programs with economic advantage.
I believe in a strong arts program in schools and that includes art appreciation. Once someone is out in the real world the government support stops. If you're good the people that appreciate your art will buy it. If you aren't as good as you've been led to believe I hope your parents are rich.
That is an interesting conflict that I don't know how to resolve. Long ago, universities were houses of thought with little concern for the economics. They were places to discuss and grow your mind. Colleges were for training to work. Now we are in this weird situation where so many people drift through a degree or more with little thought/growth or economic benefit (to them). The university monster needs a constant supply of souls to drive up gross revenue and cares little about whether what they are providing has benefit to the students. Add in students taking multiple degrees that all have little purpose and you are in a spiral of stupid.
Are you trying to say my Doctorate in Female Peruvian footwear is not gonna bring in the big bucks?
That actually sounds like something that would attract a giant pile of federal money. You've got gender, culture and style all in one. That is exactly the kind of project JT would love to spend our money on.
Graph design is much more than making art. Everything you see, be it this web page, any book, magazine, flyer, menu, brochure, medical packaging, instruction guides, etc etc etc. is done by a graphic designer with varying levels of skill. I work in print and do some light design, not something I enjoy but I can put together a newsletter, business card, whatever, when needed. Now I am not sure this is a skill needing tax credits, I would say it is much more then making art. A good graphic designer does much more then make something pretty on a screen, they work with the client, understand the client and through that hopefully design something that reflects the brand they are designing for.
I am not saying at all that it is lacking in skill, but I do believe tax-credits to prop it up is throwing money away. It is just too easy for it to be done by equally talented and educated people elsewhere where cost-of-living and wages are lower. Either entirely virtual or a few people here to meet with clients and the army somewhere else to crank out the work.
If you are good there is a lot of money to be made. Generally these are design houses and they have some great clients that keep the cash rolling. I am in print, so I am not dependent on my moderate graphic design skills and go long periods without (thankfully) having to do any real design work. There are a lot of really bad graphic designers out there though, people who think they have cracked version of photoshop makes them a designer.
Same as anyone with a camera is a photographer, a guy painting his basement is now a painter, and the guy mowing his lawn is a landscape expert....oh wait....with that criteria I’m all 3!
I feel both attacked and insulted by all your examples ?
Do you need a hug? I give one more hug and a Pat on the back and I’ll classify as a emotional support animal.
If you are a designated ESA does that exempt you from mask protocols?
I don’t know....but I guess all I need is to say ‘medical exemption’ and should be fine....
N95 or surgical masks?
