Comment on DON'T Go To Art School by MarcBrunet

So I got a job as a lead Graphics Coordinator to make lapel pin designs. I beat out others with degrees in this field and I had 0 experience using the art program they used(I had to be trained)

Reason I was chosen out of those guys? Cause I had artistic nudes in my portfolio and I worked dirty jobs in my previous employment history. The guy hiring didn't want a diva who would refuse to do artwork and we do our own cleaning so he also didn't want someone who would scoff at cleaning a toilet (we rotate chores and we are a small company but still) 

These are things to keep in mind. I honestly had no business getting this job as compared to people who trained with the art program and had the schooling to back it up. I got chosen because they had bad experiences with art school kids causing drama in the work place and having a bad work ethic.
