The only thing that I was equipped for with my very mediocre college Arts degree was to get a job in teaching.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I loved reading and writing, and teaching was the most exalted profession I could imagine.
I could have probably been just as successful by not going to college, but it was the most intellectually stimulating environment that I was ever in.
I was at a pretty rough school, and the only thing I was good at was art.
I wouldn't be where I am today without the amazing public arts education that I had.
I taught workshops at universities. I wrote for magazines. This took time and insane amounts of juggling, but it's how I earned a living.
I simply loved education. I mean, I always loved acting as well. It really was a major passion for me, but one I felt I could only fully explore once I'd completed my degree.
If I'd stayed at college I would have become a teacher.
I didn't get a Bachelor's degree - I got a Bachelor's of Fine Arts, which means I didn't have to take humanities, math, and stuff like that. I think I had to take Art History, which I failed a few times.
I definitely had a top-notch education.
My major was Fine Arts and Education thinking I would become an Art Teacher. I couldn't visualize myself as an art teacher, thinking how it wouldn't work.
