Not sure what to title this, and thats ok
I spoke with a doctor recently who had hired a candidate with an art degree over a candidate with a medical background for a job because they had felt that an art student has skills of looking were more developed and would be extremely beneficial in this position. I shared this story with a friend who is also and artist and she summed her art educaiton in the following way: "I learned to be comfortable with ambiguity". I just fell in love with this phrase- it is so complex and begs to be unpacked. I was thinking about how sometimes we can let this comfort with ambiguity be an excuse for not fully investing ourselves in a study- not working hard enough to entertain whether a concrete outcome is a possibility. But other times, the beauty of resting with ambiguity is just stunning.

i agree. questions are usually way more fun than answers. this is where were find possibility, and innovation, and we're pushed to make connections we might not have made had things been so clear-cut.
