Now, with that being said, let's get right into it. This is gonna be a really quick video. We are gonna be talking about the art degrees that have the highest salary, AKA degrees that are gonna lead to you getting jobs that have relatively good pay. Now, of course, art-related degrees aren't really known for leading to jobs that have really good pay. And I've talked about this before. I made other videos where I ranked the best and the worst art-related degrees. And those videos, I talk about job satisfaction, growth, flexibility, all kinds of things like that. But in this one, I'm just gonna be sticking completely to salary. Number one on the list is going to be industrial arts. Now, industrial arts is gonna be all about fabricating different objects using either wood or metal. And it's basically kind of a combination of technology and teaching and art all combined. You're gonna learn how to use a bunch of different hand-powered and machine-powered tools. And with this degree, you can expect to make around 46,000 a year starting out in 81,000 in mid-career pay. One career you could end up going into would be industrial design, and you would make around $68,000 a year. 42,000 jobs available. Unfortunately, it's declining, so in the next 10 years, they're gonna lose around 1,500 jobs. Another one you could go into would be animation. Now, everybody knows what animation is. Basically think like The Lion King or all those other Disney movies that we watch when we were kids. Who are we kidding? We all still watch those movies, let's be honest. But animation degrees can expect to earn around $43,000 a year and 82,000 in mid-career pay. If you were to become an animator, you would expect to earn around 75,000 a year. There's 67,000 jobs available, and it's growing at 4%, which is about average, meaning over the next 10 years, there's gonna be about 2,800 jobs that are added. Another high-paying one would be digital arts. Now, this one is a little bit more general where it's basically any type of art that you would do on a computer. Now, with this degree starting out, in the first five years, you'd make around 43,000 a year and mid-career pay is gonna be 86,000. With this one, you might go down the same career path of becoming a multimedia artist or animator, and you'd make around 75,000 a year. Now, keep in mind with this data that a lot of it is actually self-report data. So the people who didn't end up getting jobs with a degree and maybe they are potentially without a job, they would not be ones who would be reporting a salary. So that's something to keep in mind because a lot of the art-related degrees do have high levels of unemployment. Next one on the list is going to be architecture. And this one is basically comes in a BA form, Bachelor of Arts, as well as a BS form, which is Bachelor of Science. And this is gonna be the art or practice of designing and constructing buildings. Now, with this degree, you'd make around $48,000 a year starting out and 87,000 in mid-career pay. If you became an architect, you'd make around $80,000 a year. There'd be 129,000 jobs available. It is growing a little bit slow at 1%, which means there's only gonna be about 1,100 jobs that open up in the next decade. Keep in mind that some of the degrees on this list might also be a little bit skewed just because of the fact that a lot of people end up going to graduate school and therefore they end up making more money in the long run, but they had to spend more time in order to make that money and they probably went into a lot of extra debt. Next one on the list is going to be industrial design. And this is gonna be the process of design that is applied to products that are going to be mass manufactured. With this one, you can expect to make around $52,000 a year starting out and 93,000 in mid-career pay, which is really, really good for an art degree. An industrial designer, according to BLS, makes around $68,000 a year. There's 42,000 jobs available, but it is declining at negative 4%, meaning over the next decade, they are gonna lose about 1,500 jobs.
