<p>Even if this person is not hip on the idea of woodworking and welding that is what will make him stand out and become a well paid and SKILLED production artist. He is not going to get that at Cal Arts besides going in debt and come out actually making less money with less practical skills. If he is adverse to physical and/or hands on creative labor gigs then I’d recommend going to Cal Arts. Then he could pay lots of money to do experimental animation if decides he likes sitting behind a computer because that is primarily what they do at many art schools now in a lot of fields. He would not be able to dabble in classes that would benefit him like Interior Design, Painting, Sketching/Drawing, Photography, 3D Design, Sculpting nor Rigging, Sound, Moving Lights, Stage Design, Film or TV studio, or Live/Event Management. He might be able to take one or two but really needs ALL of these classes from what he has expressed to me.</p>
