Is the industry really entirely composed of nepobabies?Are the fabled developers who post here also nepobabies?
Do you think that teachers are educating their students to replace themselves? Outside of the educational system, artists make a living by acting more like mercenaries. Many who want work that is more laid back and less demanding pick education or stay in their industry long term for the perceived stability. Not that there can't be or aren't any noble teachers, it's just exceedingly rare.It depends on the "artistic" position too. Luxury titles like "concept artist", is a pipe dream.On the other hand, a developer isn't typically tied up with a title (something that doesn't need a degree to get a job).What you're asking is something like; "Are the people who go to Princton, CalArts, UCLA, and Yale really mostly just rich?" Yes. Are there exceptionally talented individuals who get admitted based off merit to maintain a schools prestige? Yes.Feel free to disagree. From my observation, artists are still starving and the ones who aren't have friends in high places. Many artists struggle, just like most people.

>>1017457I'm Puerto Rican and a Latinxa but because I look like a tomboy dyke rat and dress conservatively, no one gives a rat's ass. Oh because I'm poor with zero connections also. The zero connection part is the most important in my opinion. You can fluff up yoyr resume with as much technically impressive projects as you can, but if you're a shut-in social retard who doesn't know anybody, either Rajeet or the rich kid down the street is going to get your job. Especially in an economy like this. I'm testing that theory by doing the resume fluff bullshit by grinding graphics programming, but I secretly know its probably all going to be bullshit in the end without a real degree. Which sucks, because creation is what I love. But oh well. It is what it is. You could try to think of ways to implement your love for creation in a professional enviornment though. I'm thinking really hard on pursuing engineering next year for example, cause robots and CAD are super badass. But that bubble might pop soon too because everyone's getting into that too just like compsci a decade ago. So I dunno man. Shit's fucked. Would definitely strategize in some way like that though. To either get as much creativity out in your job as you can, or find a bullshit job where you can create as you go, like I don't know a librarian or something.
