 |  |  | Attn Artists: Help needed with a survey
< on 3/24/2009 7:09 PM >
|  | | | Hey UER, it's been a long time since I've posted.
I have to do a survey for my statistics course, and I need at least 14 more replies. This only extends to people who are currently employed as artists, or anything involving the art field (such as art teachers).
The questions:
A - What was your major in college?
B - On average, how many hours per week do you work?
C - About how many weeks did it take you to find your job?
D - What was your starting (hourly) salary?
E - Are you satisfied with your career?
F - Do you feel that you have job security?
Thanks to anyone who participates in the survey.

A - What was your major in college?
Fine Art, Concentration in 3-D studio art and glass blowing
B - On average, how many hours per week do you work?
I spend 8 hours a day at my day job testing lab equipment, and another 8 after that in my studio making my own work.
C - About how many weeks did it take you to find your job?
This is one of many stop-gap jobs that I have had since graduation (~2006) I do not want to make a career out of it. I have and will continue to pursue my own work in order to build a portfolio with the intention of getting into an MFA program and eventually teaching at a university level.
D - What was your starting (hourly) salary?
hard to say... i think my first "real" job out of college I was making 18/hr or so.
E - Are you satisfied with your career?
If this question is directed at my studio practice--absolutely, there is nowhere I would rather be. if it is directed at my day job that supports my ability to pursue my career--it could be worse, it isnt a long term solution but it keeps a roof over my head, food on my plate, and supplies in my studio.
F - Do you feel that you have job security?
nope--at will employment in our economy.

| | | | A - What was your major in college?
Graphic Design.
B - On average, how many hours per week do you work?
22.
C - About how many weeks did it take you to find your job?
I did wonderful design and photography jobs all throughout school. After graduating and leaving the college town, it took 12 weeks to find something.
D - What was your starting (hourly) salary?
My design work earned me $10/hour. My current job is minimum wage and is very unfulfilling, but I make the best of it.
E - Are you satisfied with your career?
I'd say my satisfaction is an 8/10. I'm happy with what I can do with my free time. Would certainly like to be doing more, though.

To an extent.

| | | | Art doesn't necessarily mean paint and pictures. It can also mean music and the creative side of art. So...
What was your major in college?
- Post Production, Pro Tools Certification, 22 years of piano/music (to-date)
On average, how many hours per week do did you work?
- Depends on project. 4 hours min, over 20 hours on average, 48+ max per week
About how many weeks did it take you to find your job?
- Well, I still own a post production studio, but I also had contract work. Maybe 2-3 weeks?
What was your starting (hourly) salary?
- For studio: $35/hour starting. Contract: $15-25/hour.
Are Were you satisfied with your career?
- Yes. I have moved on to other venues and industries since then as the music industry is very slow...
Do Did you feel that you have job security?
- Oh yeah. If the industry was strong and I stayed where I was, I could have easily retired at age 45 with the jobs I was working at. Yeah, multiple jobs. It was fun and I'd do it again if I was given the opportunity!
