Actually Engineers don't need a degree if you do engineering you are an Engineer, I actually heard this from an Engineer with a degree lol, but there is a difference between a hobbyist Engineer and a professional Engineer, same way there is a difference between a hobbyist artist and a Professional artist. I would not worry…
Just prove yourself and that will shut people up. "Oh so you're an artist?" "Yea I made some of the levels in Call of Duty" "Woah really!? That's awesome!" It doesn't matter what profession you are in people will never praise you for your potential, you only ever get praise from your output of work. People don't care how…
Well, unlike an engineer or scientist, an artist's work is actually all visual or rather to be experienced. Anyone can call themselves an artist, but to really earn the title of a 'great' artist anyone and everyone interested will actually see it for themselves if you've put in the hard work for it.

See, I know that. I know all about it. I can make sculptures with feces in the snow and call myself an artist.... But what about all the other professionals one that are also called ''artists'', do you really think, they wanna be associated with me? People who builds stuff or building with legos, can they call themselves…
I personally do not care too much about titles. I feel it may be partially about the fact that titles such as Engineer and architect are usually earned when people have acquired jobs in their field, meanwhile the term Artist is applied mostly to people who are hobbyist or do it very occasionally and very casually, opposed…
Don't get yourself worked up about the philosophical trap that entails what the term "art" is and what it applies to, people in the fine arts community have debated what is art or what makes an artist forever.
