Yeah people often shit on the arts without realizing many jobs are art. Movies, movie posters, industrial design, signs, and so on.
The stuff I do for work is mainly engineering type work and includes CAD but mainly in regard to processes and automation.
But I have come to realize that going to an arts highschool helped a lot because art is all about steps, stages, timing, planning (whether that is prepping a multiframe silkscreen print, or the mixing of clay through to firing and glazing stages of pottery.)
