Good point. For 99% of "artists", it should be a hobby not their job. The other 1% treat it like a real job where they have a portfolio and focus on grinding out work in an efficient, high volume manner rather than art school and muy passion.

It's the difference between getting a unicorn farts degree to save the environment as part of a non-profit and being a garbage man. The latter isn't anyone's "passion", but it actually does something productive and pays $$$.
