STOP MAD AND THROWING SERIOUS / CYNICAL / FATAL JUDGMENTS to me. I JUST MADE IT FOR FUN. WHY CAN'T YOU TAKE THIS AS A JOKE INSTEAD OF MISJUDGING MY PERSPECTIVE? IT WAS YEARS AGO, PUHLEASEE! PEOPLE CHANGE!! AS IF I REALLY STICK WITH THIS PERSPECTIVE FOREVER. OH MAN, PLEASE JUST BE COOL.


PLEASE READ THE WHOLE ARTIST'S COMMENT BEFORE YOU GIVE ME STUPID COMMENTS!


----------------------------------------------------------


dedicated to everyone in this world, who feels the same way with me now.
whose in the confusing scene of life
when you lost in choices
what will you choose, people's prestige or your real determination?
who feels that the world doesn't stand a chance for mine
who stuck in lines
and bias about which way to go from now?
... and especially when the world asks, do you know which direction you will go for your future life?
while you just doing your hobbies and never figured it out yet
but the pressures never give up to asking
"...is this what you called a life for?..."



cheers,
the super artworker wannabe,
eugenia clara.

COMMENT REVISED : September 1st, 2009



ohmydawg a DD! :woohoo:
thank you very much for all the comments and all the faves and the watches :heart: .
And I appreciated all the critics and corrections.
I'm so sorry for much Grammatical Errors, Idealistic Point of Views, and etc.
But before further judgments, you should know what was behind this work.


A Story behind this piece

I made "Go to School" when I was just started my last year on high school, which it was the hardest terms. Everyday filled with extra-after classes of this and that and the fears of Final Exam - The National Exam (which all your future of 3 years full of studying is depend on this 5 days exam)

Every senior on high school had to focus on what study program/ major/ faculty/ etc they would applied their application form to Universities they like to.

My school regularly held a little questioner to find out what was the most favorite Study Program or the most wanted Majors.
And the results are (plus the reasons) :
1) Medical = because it made you rich and get prestigious degree!
2) Engineering = look smarts and important, and also, to be rich and have prestigious degree. MEH!
3) Law = Lawyer's and its all prestigious job + degree.


Well, that made a point to think of :
were the prestigious job or majors are just Doctor and Engineer and Lawyer?

I said this because there's a local unwritten law and local norm/ custom In my local circumstances said that if you're a Doctor or a Lawyer or an Engineer or a Person that works for Government a.k.a Civil Servants, you are so great. That's the REAL JOB. That's the whole point you go to college and get yourself a REAL JOB for a REAL WEALTH and MONEY. Because when you're older, the Prestige get you on the top.

"What about art?"
They said, "Art is just for hobbies. Art won't lead you anywhere. Art's not bring you for future wealth. Life's all about wealthy. To be wealth, we need : Prestige, and of course, Money.


those opinions are unfair. You can't judge things by its commercial's succeed. Everyone has opinion. Everyone has different mindset to stick on. There's no good or bad things, that's just depend on everyone's perspective.




____________________


so, that's the reason I made this piece. I was put my emotion there, but now I already get rid of those things NOW. I just want to delivered a message of "stigma" that goes strong around me.
Come to think of it, there's always a pro and con for every single opinion.
I know the illustration is not good, yeah that's subjective!
PLEASE NOTE : I'm not bashing Doctor, Lawyer, Civil servant and Engineer AS BAD THINGS I just "bring" things up, wanted to show and compare local people thoughts. SO WHY CAN'T YOU SEE?
I JUST BRING THE LOCAL STEREOTYPE INTO A PIECE OF ARTWORK!


SO DON'T BLAME ME ABOUT THIS PERSPECTIVE. BLAME THE CONVENTIONAL GUYS! SHIT!



Eugenia Clara.

Hey.
I love this piece, but I love your description more. People's success shouldn't be judged on how much money they make. Most, if not all, of the people on the Fortune 500 compulsively hoard so much money that they impoverish others, and got there only through exploitation in some way, shape, or form. They are not people to be looked up at.
What people should be judged by is their righteousness. Someone who devotes their efforts to others is someone to be looked up towards.
Of course, what is also important is his/her own personal happiness. If someone is content but poor, I would admire them more than someone who is well-off but unhappy.
Still, money is important, and therefore school is important, too. Money can't buy happiness, but enough of it should give you peace of mind.

Thank you, and God bless~

Maybe just for the preachy last words "-What a narrow mindset...", (Nobody like to gets preached) you're getting the flames, but as you said - deal with it. Feelings are feelings, and you were'nt doing it with a mindset to "please everyone" (lol, obviously not XD, why they can't see that? In the end is what you want, not what they think you want for your goal.) Thumbs up from here.

i personally dont even need school, the two areas of work i have remote intrest in are investment and leading a scientific research team (as in paying a bunch of people to do science stuff).

I will do projects for commission. If the project is small and I end up enjoying it I may do it for free. Go to my Deviant ID on my page to learn more.

i believe your view on this is actually quite honest, people go to college because they know that society in a certain way pressures them to go. society thinks that if you don't go to college and have a real job, you are worthless... it's to bad... nobody really wants to go to college but sometimes there is no choice u.u you have your life to take care of your future and even the future of those you care for. but this image is certainly truth... so XD i thing it's actually pretty awesome
