If someone majored in arts, do thet usually work with BFA or do they usually go further to get their masters?
What should I expect from art school Bachelor or Master?
and i would really appreciate if you could answer my other questions too!!
 
It depends on what you want to do. If you want to get a salaried job as an illustrator, a masters degree will greatly increase your chances. If you are freelancing or selling personal work, it's not as important. You will need to be good at promoting yourself and networking.
 
A BFA is enough. It's really about the strength of your portfolio. An MFA isn't necessary to get your first jobs.

However, if you want to be an art professor, you need an MFA. And some management jobs want an MFA or masters in art - but for those jobs, you must *first* have the work experience; so don't rush right into an MFA.

Get your BFA. Work. Then go back for your MFA if you see that it will benefit you.
