چکیده
Higher education can function as an important marker of seriousness in fields characterized by diffuse professional standards.

Some respondents were not “in sync” with this position and needed to seek out other resources in order to construct themselves as professional artists. However, they seldom rejected the kind of subjectivity promoted by their education, but rather renegotiated it as part of the uncertainty of their chosen field.
