I graduated with a Bachelors of Fine Arts degree about five years ago realizing I did not find enough fundamental value in the business side of art of selling paintings in order to make a living. Although painting is of my greatest interest and what I truly love doing, there are no professional occupations I find myself in (gallery/museums, muralist, teaching jobs etc.) in order to cover the basic cost of living.
More recently, I have taken an interest in bird conservation/ornithology as a potential working profession, and would like to go back to school to get my masters but, seeing that most wildlife biology graduate degrees require a BS or BA degree, I'm not quite sure if I want to take that route... I've always been conducive to unconventional ways of learning such as jumping from one topic to another: color theory, the psychology of perfumery, Tibetan buddhism, birds of prey (all having nothing to do with each other) and struggle to commit to one area alone in the conventional academic setting. As a result, I have dedicated my post undergraduate years learning on my own, but working to get by has made it difficult to find the time and energy to dedicate on the things I actually find an interest in.
Here are some questions I have that may apply to members:
How do people overcome this post undergraduate dilemma (or disease)?
Does anyone else struggle with this or something similar?
How did you resolve this? Who did you reach out to (without sounding like a nut job)?
Is there a way around getting into conservation programs with a BFA? such as interdisciplinary studies or special programs in the US that allow you to take undergraduate wildlife biology courses while getting a masters degree?
What are some online resources/schools/programs?
All inputs are welcome.
Thank you
