My previous question is :
How can art graduates develop their careers in the Internet age?
At first, I’d like to help these creative people to develop their careers. For instance, I can create a platform that could be a free magazine or a website to promote their artworks.
Then I interviewed some fine art background friends. I try to know how they think about this idea and the employment problem of fine art students. After talking to them, I realized that supporting ourselves by selling artworks is not that hard, especially in this internet age. We can post our work online and acquire our audiences. The only difficulty is persistence, and lots of people gave up before the chance comes to them.
But why is it hard for them to persist? The reason is that they don’t like their major. Why they choose a major that they dislike? Because they didn’t fully understand this major when they make a choice.
Then they spent four years learning a course they dislike and developing their career which has no relative to their background.
Based on all of this, my question evolved into:
How can art students choose the right major to help them define themselves and find suitable jobs after they graduate?
