The ArtEEST

I guy I work with is singing the blues.  Why?  Because his wife has delved into a career of art that pays NOTHING.  Yes, it's costs $75,000 + to get your art degree, but that does not translate into a job that pays more than a Starbucks barista.  The Starbucks barista is money ahead.  The joke is on the idiot who shelled out mega bucks for the art degree for nothing. 

Sure, it's art is like acting.  Very few will make it big and even fewer will make it rich.  Still, it does not deter the artsy-fartsy, intellectual wannabees who stick a fork into a ball of twine and call it ART THAT SPEAKS.  OMFG!!!!  Let's make an exhibit!!!!!  I have a broomstick with a string of lights that wraps around the handle to balance the effect! We can stare at it for hours! 

Hey, I can appreciate a fork stuck in a ball of twine, and also a broomstick with lights strung around the handle.  I don't need a $75,000 degree for it, either.  Just don't ask me to pay your bills for you when your career flops. 

Remember this mantra............... "I'll have a grande, non-fat, latte with an extra shot."
