Good for them! Fuck RISD for refusing to provide their employees with proper wages! The post is totally correct for saying that academic institutions like RISD should not operate like Fortune 500 businesses.

Best of luck to them and I hope all their conditions are met. Power to the people

Art is important. Industrial design is important. Interior design is important. Graphic design is important. Animation and photography and videography are important.

Sorry you're not happy with your career choices but an education in the arts is worthwhile and benefits society. Providence is made beautiful by the art we commission
