    It’s only a scam if they’re being misleading. I’ve never heard anyone say “get an art degree, you’ll get rich!” It’s not a scam to study art simply because you want to develop your knowledge and talents in a structured way. Should art degrees cost as much as they do? Probably not, but “expensive” and “scam” are two different things.

      People should study the arts, schools shouldn’t pretend they yield jobs just because you get a degree and charge the same as a career specific degree
