Arts graduates find jobs & satisfaction

Here is a good article about the perspective of the job market and outlook for graduating art students. I find it interesting that, statistically speaking, artists find more success and happiness when pursuing a career in the arts, breaking the old notion of "artists are a dime a dozen." As a graphic designer, it's somewhat true that one third of us are satisfied with our work but the average annual income for artists are satisfied with their position, which I find surprising. The following excerpt intrigued me:

"It's clear that we need to be doing a better job of preparing our students for the business realities that they face after graduation...every call for curricular reform has to address the zero-sum realities of what we must squeeze into a curriculum and what we can afford to leave out."
