    i am very happy to see someone mention busniness coursework in the
    same sentence as an art degree on this forum, it should be required
    by the government that art students have a business minor in that
    MFA. Uncontionable would be a proper description of what art degrees
    cost in relation to the available work after graduation for most
    young folks. i know a young woman who recently graduated from
    Columbus College of Art & Design ( CCAD ) here in Columbus Ohio, as a
    jewelry major.now she has the illustrious position of porter at a
    local honda dealership because, although she has knowlege up the
    wazzooo and not to mention a boatload of artistic intellect and
    inteligence (also a prodigy), she recieved no training in what is
    mostly marketable in the jewelry business here locally in Columbus
    Ohio,and most other places in the USA, repairing expensive but flimsy
    imported jewely. 

    CAVEAT EMPTOR ( sp? ) does apply to your education as well as the
    high milage used car you will be driving because of those high
    dollar college loan payments you are going to be expected to pay
    back 

best regards goo
