Should I opt for higher studies or pursue a job after completing Bachelor in Visual Arts and why?

Hi, Going for the higher studies or getting a job after completing Bachelors in visual arts is totally up to you. If you want to do a government job or you are very keen to study further then you should go for higher studies. Otherwise, if you want to do private jobs only, then it's better you start early because in the industry, experience is always more valuable than a Master's degree. So, why to pay fee for another two years. It's better you earn money and add up to your experience because what you learn in the industry is totally different than what you learn in the college. Whatever you choose to do, just make sure first that what you want from your life. I hope you make a good decision. All the best.

You should pursue a job after completing Bachelors in Visual Arts. Graduates from this field get the choice of joining software companies, publishing houses, art studios, freelancing, etc. There is a majority of people who are self employed in this field and this enables them to work on pieces and work of their choice. One can start working as a critic or an art specialist as well but this option would require some previous experience in the field and some hands-on job which exposes you to art so that you later have the option of knowing what you are criticizing or commenting on. There are many artisans that who freelance and make their living on the basis of the work they do. However you should keep in mind, that while doing this you will not only create but also promote on your own and this also brings along with itself the fear of an irregular income. On the contrary of your work is great then there are great rewards for the work that you do, but it will be a risk which you will have to take to find out. You can join creative departments of advertising agencies, magazines, newspapers in the publishing industry or the textile industry. Electronic media, films and theatre are other options. The salary is varied, and also depends on your talent. You can also be an art historian, art dealer, art therapist or art educator. Unfortunately, few artists have the luxury of becoming full-time painters or sculptors. Salary expectancy A fresher in this industry can start his career with somewhere Rs 10,000 per month that also depending on the basis of your talent. People who work with magazines, publishing house or advertising agencies can also expect to earn Rs 15,000 to 25,000 a month.
