Don't worry fam, I have a guaranteed, proven, 3step plan to get your research funded.

Step 1: Create shell company.

Step 2: Create and market protein building protein bars with the ability to "create a compound interest effect" on your protein receptor cells.

Step 3: After company either makes money, is sued, or some combination of both, use the hype to generate interest in your theory as a new "longevity therapy that conventional science doesn't understand" and get the idiots that bought your protein bars to fund the actual research.

The plan is essentially guaranteed to work when it does.

As a person that switched from Art Degree to Engineering work I understand the first freshman comment. But also Art Degree gets you into Video production, professional photography, movie set design, all poster/ promo / cover artwork for music or movie production. And so on. A person I know with their Art Degree works on frame rate and buffering technologies related to video streaming. Basically getting correct colour and quality through advanced codecs or something.

I have trained 16 PhD students in Biochemistry. They were all employed within months of defending, some before they finished.

A BS in biochem is the same as one in psychology.... close to worthless without the PhD.

Also graduated me: "well at least I can get a white collar job somewhere instead of being forced to work in the service industry like someone with an art degree"
