I completely agree. I was the only graphic designer in a department full of pretension. People were so far up each others ass, every piece of dog shit is a masterpiece. And there is no respect for graphic design there, lots of stupid talk about selling out. God forbid I make a decent living doing something I love! Those 4 years were awful, I could not stand any of them. The teachers too, they think they are Picasso with their line drawing of fucking telephone wires. Gee Picasso, I wonder why the only show you ever have is in the art gallery of the art department, so weird. There was one real, famous artist who was the sculpture teacher and he was so down to earth, no pretension at all. He was my favorite,  too bad he retired in my sophomore year. :( He did beautiful sculptures for some very famous stadiums. They guy who replaced him was the worst, and fucking cake hog! Leaning over the desk with his fat gut on the table, so gross. /rant
