Kaitlyn Houston on a Job in the Arts Vs. a Life in the Arts - Creative On Purpose Live! [CLIP]

I've thought about it a lot, thinking that, you know, there's a lot of people that earn a degree and then do something that has nothing to do with their degree. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that, but I was like, I've made this intentional choice to pursue art. And I was trying to think of like, well, what am I going to do? What am I going to do? And what it came down to, I talked to one of my professors and he said something that really comforted me was that he's not teaching me to have a job in the arts, but to have a life in the arts. And I think as— I think that is actually a lot more— it puts you on a better trajectory because that way you're constantly surrounding yourself in art instead of just trying to check all the boxes.
