art degrees vs. painting

+My question is, how is that any different from being an interior decorator, +an antique car salesman, or a horse breeder?

How is throwing paint at a canvas any different that being a kindergarten student or an asylum inmate? How is arranging fruit on a shelf, any different than being a supermarket assistant? How is cutting a frozen cow in half any different than being a butcher? How is emptying a room of everything but a light globe and switch any different to being a common thief?

Want to get away from the indecipherable imbecilities and absurd pretensions of the modern art establishment?
