@BenDover: Oh yes, i'm definitely still keeping the two in mind, in case i suddenly feel invigorated enough to have another go at getting a degree. What i meant more specifically about art is that the degree itself matters very little, because while it is a pretty sure bet that someone with a degree in art is REALLY GOOD at it, it's also entirely possible to get super good without one, probably more easily so than the more bookish disciplines. I am absolutely not saying that art as a skill is worthless, but even if it was, it's still fun. :v
