Won't this kind of shaft their employment prospects as well?

Other industries don't move as fast but a 3 year layoff in tech could be a career death sentence.

Do they have to be unemployed during the grant period? They could still find commissions and other stuff during that time or sell their art. And I guess for an artist either way you have a lot of new portfolio entries?
