[OS:N:] commercial artists - 1 in 4000

[Jeff Kinz]

This just in, according to the US dept. of Labor, approximately
1 out of every 3,880 people employed in the US today is a commercial
artists. (graphic/computer artists are a subset of that group).

So - schools only need to educate 1 in about every 3800 students to be
commercial artists. Even if Gimp isn't exactly equivalent to 
Adobe Photoshop, it is certainly adequate to the needs of primary
schools.
