Just for the record, you can be an artist(and get paid) without the "fine arts" degree. It's called raw talent and work ethic. If you really have what it takes to sell a piece of art, no one will look at your degree before they purchase it.
And don't believe the term "starving artist". Look within your 5 ft radius. Unless you're sitting on a log in the wilderness, you'll see art which was created by paid artists.... whether it's a calendar on your wall, the tshirt design you're wearing or the label on the jar of mayonnaise you just pulled out of the fridge. I've been living as an artist for 20 years and by this time I've built up many streams of income which pay me perpetually.
