"I personally believe that having an art background can be beneficial regardless of what you major in. Art has an intrinsic value in all areas of life on the deepest level. Whether art is something you are passionate about or something you are simply curious about, it can demonstrate to potential recruiters that you are able to approach tasks and problems in a forward-thinking and dynamic manner. Art is often associated with creativity and innovation, which is integral in almost every industry."
