Art School vs University vs Neither: Which one is right for you? // BianaBova

*I'm bracing myself to get shit for this video and that's fine. I'm just asking y'all to be respectful in the comments and use this platforms to share your experiences in a kind and genuine way. Thanks~* This topic has been on my mind for literal YEARS and I had to get it out at some point. I wish I hadn't focused so much on the freelancing side of things cause you will be learning solo too. Plus the freelancer hustle is a struggle that all of us--degree or no degree--must face. But bottom line, when you're on your own, you have to make your own moves, period. When I was working full time at Starbucks, it took me months before I felt could push myself to work on art daily, and even then it's not as much as I regularly do at school. Shit's tough.
