The Questions

This, apparently, is what can happen if you spend a few months and a few thousand dollars at Massey's Wellington campus.

Does this make me any more or less of a fine artist than I was prior to gaining said 'qualification'?

Do I have any more desire to be known as a fine artist than I did prior to gaining said 'qualification'?

Does this mean I am more intent on a career as an artist than I was prior to gaining said 'qualification', or from someone who has been regularly exhibiting for ten years without any formal 'qualification'?

These are not rhetorical questions. These are questions which deserve answers.
