It's extremely difficult to make it as a fine artist, even though a majority of the country is going for it anyway. Because of this there are less taxes that can take from these people, and also its not an age to be selling paintings all the time because not everyone wants an original work of art to display. But some people take the chance, and depending on their experience, can make a boat load of money with a profession that is very left to chance. Artists wanting a more stable career, they go into teaching art, which is more stable but has probability to make less money.
Area matters when it comes to getting into art, you can live in an area proven to be more likely to flourish the arts, but then you could also move somewhere without the  need for the arts. And with the increasing number of college graduates going into the arts has effected the amount of taxes taken from paychecks, resulting in a diminished social security. And it costs a lot to go to school for art. So what we've learned is it costs to go into art, and it is risky because you never know how much money you'll earn.
