HIGH PAYING ART CAREERS
YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT
BY JOHNATHAN D. KINDALL
raduating from art school can lead to
a number of non-traditional and highpaying
careers, with salaries matching
or exceeding that of other fields. Below,
we’ll take a look at three such careers,
each intended to give you a better idea of the
many varied paths you can take out of art school.
Not all of these careers may be available to students
immediately out of college - specific experience
and training may still be needed - but all careers
explored can be reached with a specialized 4 year
degree from an arts school, with no additional
schooling required.
1. VIDEO GAME ARTIST
Video game artists work on different aspects of
video games design, from backgrounds to 2D environments
to 3D models. Whether through modest
pixel art or huge, three-dimensional environments,
video game artists help bring digital worlds to life.
The exact responsibilities of a video game artist
will vary depending on the size and style of
the given project. For example, if a game artist is
working for a big-budget, multi-million-dollar video
game, they may only work on one aspect - like the
textures of vehicles - for the entire project. »
