"Taking arts is a waste of time, It's like there's no future for people who take arts."
As a student, yes I am taking arts and having to deal with people saying negative things about what I choose, hurts.
The mentality of certain people.
Whether we want to take arts as our major, that is our problem and not YOURS. If you are so confident that whatever you're taking will get you to a better future then go ahead but never tell someone that it seems impossible for them to succeed. NEVER. Whether they take arts, science or business, never tell them negative things as if they won't succeed.
It pisses me off and hurts me when people tell me that taking arts won't really get me anywhere. Let me ask you something then. How would you know if I won't succeed? Will the course your taking now make you succeed in life as well? You don't know your future either so why judge ours?
A person may be well off taking science but that does not mean they have a brighter future. Arts may not look like much but to people like us, it means a lot and also will get us somewhere in life. You'll never know.
I'll give you one good example then. She's a person I admire the most and she's my mum. When she was about my age, she took arts as well and she succeeded in life because of it. No, she wasn't an artist but she worked in a very good place, I won't say where but the company is one of the leading companies known worldwide that represents Malaysia. I can honestly tell you that I'm not bullshitting about this sort of thing. She had a good position in her job and a good pay. She was successful.
So it comes to show that it doesn't matter what course you take, you can still succeed if you're willing to learn new things.
