Today, my dad came to my graduate art show wearing a t-shirt saying "My other daughter is a science major". He'd had it specially made. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my dad came to my 8-year-old daughter's birthday party wearing a shirt that said "Small penis, huge dick." FML
Today, I showed my father a nice sweatshirt online, hoping he would take the hint and get it for me. He did, three sizes larger than mine, for himself. FML
Today, after years of frustration, I got a t-shirt printed that says, "I am a girl". FML
Today, my father used my birth certificate as a beer coaster. Accident or not, it pretty much perfectly sums up our relationship. FML
Today, I wore a Stanford college T-shirt to school. My Spanish teacher took one look at it and said "You wish". FML
Today, I met my girlfriend's dad for the first time. His shirt said "D.A.D.D, Dads Against Daughters Dating, shoot the first one and word will spread". FML
Today, my father made a post on Facebook with an old baby picture, saying how proud he was that I got into college. This would have been sweet if the baby picture was actually of me. FML
Today, my son decided to come out of the closet by wearing a shirt that said "Mom, I'm gay" to the family reunion. FML
Today, I asked my father for some help paying my college tuition. He told me he'd help me after I become more accredited than he is. My father has 2 PHDs. I'm studying to be an elementary school teacher. FML
Today, I bought a new shirt I thought looked cool. At work, three people complimented me, then each one added a variation of, “My dad has the same one!” By lunch, my confidence had left the building entirely. A coworker even asked if I’d gotten it from the “retro section.” FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Art is very hit or miss. She COULD be rich and famous.. Or she could end up working in retail or fastfood to make ends meet. Science almost always guarantees you a job.

#94 Making money isn't the only measure of success. OP Your dad is a tool. When your next big art event rolls around, don't even tell him it's happening and when he finds out and asks why, remind him how he disrespected your creativity.

To those people accusing OP of not having a sense of humour: ridiculing your child's career choice at their grad show is not funny. A good parent doesn't make a joke at their child's expense, especially not in public at an impotant event.

YDI for doing art, try doing something meaningful with your life and career.

Art has been really meaningful for me so far. Meaning means different things for different people.

Yeah, WTF is a science major? Saying "engineering" isn't even specific enough (I.e. mechanical, electrical etc.) Science could be physics (which is still quite broad) chemistry, or more specifically composites, or structural engineering, there is a nearly endless supply. Science is too vast for even a 10 year degree.

This Art is a phony major. Meant for football players who are on full scholarship to pretend to go to class and get laid by dumb Art major chicks....

Yeah Im sure all the animators and Pixar and Disney will agree with you. And yes before you say anything 3D animation is an art major along with traditional animation, fine art(the one everyone thinks of when someone says art major) interior design and jewelerry making. So yes what a useless fake major it is.

the 3D animation is fun .... the assumption here is fine art in terms of uselessness....

Fine art is far from useless but just like web design and 3d animation it is not something you need a degree to do. People want art peices for their houses, concept designs for characters (yes a fine art degree or an illustration one can let you do this) Calling an art major useless is like saying being in a band is useless, if you enjoy it you'll continue to do it whether your job is in another field or not and for those that do make it they must be truely happy. Imagine getting paid for doing what you love all your life.

so why are you disagreeing, 159? if art is something you dont need a degree for, then an art degree IS useless. like, you'd be better off actually doing art and making money than wasting your time on a degree if, as you say, you don't need one. i don't know anything about art degrees so i can't vouch for the validity of that statement but you guys are saying THE SAME THING just differently: that an art degree is a waste of time because you don't need one to pursue a career in art.
