^ Thanks Evie. Maybe one day I'll do some gallery show for my fellow CF people here. Need a camera and a stable life...
The depression part was about my past abuses in my family, both physical and emotional. It was hard to deal with, and I'm still trying to get over it. I'm not depressed as I used to be. I'm a lot better now.
A lot of people don't understand what abuse and depression means to an individual, so I don't bother telling it to anyone except here. I still haven't told anyone close to me to this day. I don't want to be judged or pitied. I just want to organize my thoughts and memories, and put away what had happened years ago.
I'll keep on praying to God. Lately, I've been pretty bad, and I really need Him. But I feel pretty far from Him with this unbalanced life.

as they say, today is the best day, you know
Jupiter! I was an art major and I agree with the waste you are talking about. Even from the professors. Talentless people get those gallery openings honestly. 90 percent of the art world is like that.
You will get to where you want just keep your head up and work hard. And don't be angry with yourself anymore find forgiveness. You deserve better then that!
I want to also add sometimes things happen in life that hurt us but those things in many ways are blessing. I don't mean abuse is a blessing far from it but these inner struggles you are writing about somehow hit close to home. But the things that have happened that have made me angry and hurt have been the best things that could have happened to me. If you like I can write to you what I went through. Sometimes knowing you are not alone eases our pain a little.
Trust in the lord he is sooooo good!
I loathe and despise the university system in general, and if I had to boil down the question of college to "yay or nay" I would choose nay.
I failed out of college after one year, and I've been taking courses piecemeal when I have the ability to pay for it without going into debt. Yet I am better off financially than everyone I know who has graduated college with the major I was seeking. We have similar jobs, but I have almost no debt.
There are some disciplines for which the university system is still the best available system. I want to teach college economics and/or philosophy, and for that I know I'll need a doctorate, regardless of my low opinion of the system. But for almost any career choice outside of academics, there are better ways than college. So if you want to be in a trade or such like, I think what it comes down to, for you, is: will the stigma of being a college dropout be worth the long-term financial benefits? Because that's really all that you would be missing.
It would be interesting and rather fascinating taking a class with you MacFall. =) But I would wonder if you could find a balance with opinions. I had a professor who was amazing with that. Later I found out that he has compete different views then what his students talked about but he was so centered and balanced within those discussions. It amazed me. He was and still is one of my favorite teachers.

I'm too tired to read the whole thread, so I am responding to the original post.
Go talk to the counselor at the trade school that you are interested in and see what the job forecast and the expected entry level pay..along with what it is likely to be after you gain some experience and expertise. There are plenty of "trades" that pay better than college degrees and they usually cost less to get there.
