The most common thought about artist are you can spot them a mile away by their wacky look and actions. It’s though that artists weren’t good in school and have a very free creative spirit. If everyone relied on looks and schooling for occupations I would be a CEO somewhere. I was a strait A student and graduated at the top of my class. I immediately went to a  university and received a law degree. I was very good in school and looked the part of a lawyer but in the end, my heart was with the arts. So I ditched my first career and became a traveling artist and it was the best decision I have ever made!
