It's not the damning Sam's worried about, it's approval. For those with a degree in a creative field, the only thing that isolates them from the nagging question of whether their father was right and if they should have gone for a degree that would get them a job is staunch belief in their non-conformism. The validation of those one looks down upon is worse than the worst criticism.
Or maybe I'm just projecting.

Thanks for making me question my existence for the 5th time today

stop making bags and get into psychoanalysis
this is an accurate read of me -
You didn’t have to go so hard, but you did. Everyone from the creative field just gave a collective shudder.
I teach kids creative stuff too so here’s to a whole school year of relentless non-conformism as a means of asserting the validity of what I’m teaching them.

I think most people are damning you with faint praise a lot less than you think they are.
