00:33out so let's get right into this one i'm
00:35gonna do this video really quickly the
00:37double majors for art degrees now to be
00:40honest with you your chances of getting
00:41a job doing art with an art degree are
00:44i've talked about this in other videos
00:45but it's very rare for someone to be
00:47able to get a job doing
00:48art with an art degree this all
00:49basically just comes down to a supply
00:51and demand issue there's plenty of
00:53people who are graduating with art
00:54degrees and there's just not that many
00:56situations where somebody needs to hire
00:59however there's always exceptions here
01:01and i'm going to go over a few
01:02situations where it might actually work
01:04out for you so the first one on the list
01:05is going to be an art degree and a
01:07technology degree and in this example
01:10graphic design and computer science so a
01:12cs degree you would expect to make
01:14around seventy thousand dollars a year
01:15starting out and a hundred and sixteen
01:17thousand in mid-career pay with a
01:18graphic design degree it's gonna be
01:20quite a bit less of course you're gonna
01:21make around forty two thousand dollars a
01:24and sixty 000 in mid-career pay one
01:27career path you might go down is
01:28becoming a web developer and they make
01:30around seventy three thousand dollars a
01:32there's a hundred and seventy four
01:33thousand jobs available and it is
01:34growing at eight percent which is much
01:37now there are quite a few downsides to
01:39getting an art degree and i've talked
01:40about that in other videos so you can
01:42check those out if you want to
01:43one of the upsides to art is the fact
01:45that it will probably never be
01:47automated for instance if you became a
01:48multimedia artist or an animator there's
01:52chance according to will
01:54robotstakemyjob.com that it's going to
01:55be automated so if you are able to get a
01:57job then you probably won't have to
01:59worry about it getting automated number
02:00two on the list is going to be an art
02:02degree plus a business degree now in my
02:05opinion business degrees overall make
02:08majors they go with just about anything
02:11if you think about it it makes a lot of
02:12sense because you can work for just
02:14about any business in any industry
02:16and a ton of different types of careers
02:17with a business degree so one example
02:19here would be doing product design mixed
02:21with marketing and with a product design
02:23degree you would make around 58
02:25000 a year starting out and 95 000 in
02:28and with a marketing degree you'd make
02:30around 49 000 starting out and 91 000 in
02:33mid-career one career path you might go
02:35down with this combination would be
02:37marketing manager they make around 135
02:40a year there's 314 000 jobs available
02:43and it's growing at six percent which is
02:46now i talked about this in my video the
02:47degrees that create the most
02:48millionaires but business
02:50degrees made up six out of the top 10 on
02:52that list and i think it's because you
02:54tend to learn personal finance skills at
02:56a young age like investing
02:57saving and budgeting but i think it also
02:59has to do with how flexible the degree
03:01is in the fact that it teaches you
03:03skills that are really
03:04evergreen so for instance you might work
03:06for a few years get some skills get some
03:08experience and then you decide to start
03:10if there are one category of degrees
03:12that i would think would be the best
03:13idea especially for an art major for you
03:16it would be business degree next one on
03:18the list is going to be an art degree
03:20plus an engineering degree now the
03:22example here is going to be
03:23industrial design plus industrial
03:25engineering it seems like that
03:26combination would go together really
03:28well so with an industrial design degree
03:31000 a year starting out and 93 000 in
03:34with an industrial engineering degree
03:38a year starting out and 111 000 in
03:40mid-career another one you might
03:41consider would be architecture plus
03:43civil engineering with architecture
03:45you'd make forty eight thousand dollars
03:46a year starting out and eighty seven
03:48thousand in mid-career pay and with
03:49civil engineering you'd make sixty one
03:51thousand starting out and a hundred and
03:53three thousand in mid-career now one
03:54career path you might end up going down
03:56would be industrial engineer they make
03:58around eighty-eight 88 000
03:59a year there's 295 000 jobs available
04:02and it's growing at 10
04:03which is much faster than average now
04:05historically speaking engineering
04:07degrees have been extremely good they're
04:09not quite as good as they used to be but
04:11when you look at the census data for
04:12instance engineering degrees
04:14make over a lifetime more money than any
04:16type of degree now of course if they do
04:18this census data about 20 30 years from
04:20now this could be completely different
04:21but as of right now engineers make
04:23around 3.5 million dollars over a
04:25lifetime compared to the average of 2.4
04:28million for all types of college degrees
04:30and if you look they tend to make quite
04:32a bit of money no matter what career
04:33path you go down so for instance if you
04:35go into an arts and media career path
04:37you're still going to make around 3
04:39million dollars i will say here the
04:40engineering degrees are very
04:42difficult on their own so double
04:43majoring in something else would
04:44probably be out of the question for most
04:47next one on the list is going to be an
04:48art degree plus any type of degree
04:50that's practical so for instance you
04:52might do advertising design plus a
04:54statistics degree now if you look up the
04:56keyword on monster.com
04:58advertising design degree only about 146
05:02job listings have those words listed
05:04however if you look up statistics degree
05:07over 29 000 job listings has that as a
05:10keyword this isn't a perfect test by any
05:12means but it's usually a good sign if
05:13you look up a degree
05:14and there's a lot of job postings and
05:16that's kind of the issue with a lot of
05:17art related degrees is there's just not
05:19that many people out there that are
05:21going to be willing to hire you to do
05:22art and that's why number five on the
05:24list is maybe you should consider
05:26not double majoring in maybe minor
05:30it might be a good idea to consider just
05:31taking extra classes or doing it on the
05:34side for some people it would be great
05:35to just keep it as a hobby but if you
05:37really want to do it as your profession
05:38you're probably going to have to get
05:40creative maybe start a youtube channel
05:42start your own business something along
05:44and i've talked about this before in
05:45other videos but most people would argue
05:48that getting an art degree
05:49is not going to help you be successful
05:51as an artist most of the time you would
05:53be better off if you spent those four
05:54years just practicing your craft then
05:56after those four years you probably
05:58would have learned more
05:59and you wouldn't be 40 000 in debt but i
06:01know this is extremely subjective and
06:03there might be some situations where
06:05getting a college degree is a good idea
06:07when it comes to art the best thing you
06:08can do is to make a good plan figure out
06:10what your goal is and then figure out
06:12what steps you need to take in order to
06:13get there so for instance if you want to
06:15be a professional artist you might want
06:16to go and find people who are
06:18professional artists and ask
06:20them what they recommend that you do
