In My Dreams I Have a Plan (A Career with a Fine Arts Degree)

About this episode

Alex and Susanna reflect on their experiences as Fine Arts majors and how those experiences shaped their careers.

Money, Money Money, must be funny...when you are pursuing a Fine Arts degree. Before they were the Disco Queens, Alex and Susanna were (trying) to survive one day at a time as an art major and music major through long days and nights of critiques, deadlines, and character building. The Disco Queens discuss the struggles, triumphs, and sheer tenacity they found through their Fine Art programs. How do these traits still serve them today in their careers and why you should be creative any chance you get (even if you feel like you are not good at it)? Tune in with your disco queens and let's start healing!
