Too many of them seem completely unaware that what they know is specialized knowledge and not everyone has it

Truth, but the sad part is they're unaware due to being constantly belittled for trying to make a living out of art rather than brain surgery.

"Oh you're studying art? Cool, my 5 year-old paints with her fingers in kindergarten too!"
"Hey I know a professional artist - he's an attention whoring dramatic crackhead who fakes disability to get benefits from the taxes WE pay because he can't occupy a damn job using his ~skills~!"

Unless you grew up among artists, musicians and other creative professionals, you've probably been showering in these comments everyday since the first time you picked up a pencil. You'd be brought up believing you're a horrible delinquent up to no good/only there to look pretty while everyone else is supposedly mature and wise beyond their years, majoring in a "real" subject so they can cure cancer and make "real" contributions to ~∽~∽~SOCIETY~∽~∽~ later on. Some of them think amateurs are wasting their efforts because they believe their own efforts and struggles are also in vain.
