I am currently an art college student- almost done with freshman year. (I am working on my finals right now )
So what I’m concerned about is, whether should I drop out from this school or not.
I am a pretty good student; I receive good amount of scholarship, about 60-70% of tuition (it is just for merit scholarship- I receive this by my portfolio). My grade is pretty good, and I work hard on all of my classes. I also love to draw & paint.
However, I do NOT think this school & all the courses worth tons of $$$; (even though I receive scholarship, my school is private art school, so it still costs a LOT. + all the materials & programs are super expensive) I basically work & learn by myself. I feel like education in here is just waste of money.
Also, since in high school, I’ve always wanted to study broadly. I am interested in various liberal art courses. But it is impossible in my school, because most of the courses are art-related and there are lots of limitations.
Next problem is, which is my main concern, I am not sure about my future. Usually, it is hard to find job & make money in art industry (just to make sure- I did not choose art major to make tons of money. I came here bc I like art), but it costs a lot to get education & degree in college. Which is really… ironic.
So, I want to drop out from this college and restart in community college(to earn some transfer credit; I am pretty sure none of my classes in my school will transfer) and then transfer to public school.
My question is: Is it too late?? I am almost done with my freshman year and if I want to transfer to non-art-related major in public school (ex. UC), I will have to attend CC to prepare and then transfer. Or should I just stay here?
