FEATURED ARTICLE
------------------------------
"Being an Artist" by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2004-05 Edition
"More than half of all artists and related workers were self-employed -- almost eight times the proportion for all professional and related occupations. Artists usually develop their skills through a bachelor's degree program or other postsecondary training in art or design. Keen competition is expected for both salaried jobs and freelance work, because many talented people are attracted to the visual arts." Read More At: http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos092.htm
