I think growing up I received alot of negative WASP programming that the arts in general were a waste of time. I can't count the number of times that someone mentioned a person who say was going to school for arts or humanities or something, and the first response that an adult would make would be "Good luck trying to get a job in that when they are done...."
I heard it so much, that I think I started to believe it. But now, I'm completely the opposite. I admire people that create things, those people who have reached a "higher" level of awareness than the working person.
Were you pushed away from the arts or music in favour of more blue collar occupations?
