Graduate School.
01-Oct-13A friend told me on Saturday that he was considering going to grad school – either for an MFA or an MBA. The funny thing was that I sensed that if he wanted to paint and be an artist, he should get the MBA, and if he was going to be a businessman, he should take a couple of years off to paint for awhile and talk about art, and he’d pay it off later easily enough. How strange. And I bet it will work out like this in the end too – the thing he goes to school for will be the thing he doesn’t do with his life.
