I just turned 16 and i've been thinking a lot about my future. it's all very confusing since there are so many art schools and majors and careers with a lot of varying salaries and everything is just kind of ....overwhelming @___@
i really love art and i love to think creatively and outside the box. i'm a daydreamer and storyteller by nature and have been really interested in illustration, animation, and design, but i'm concerned about whether i'll be able to make a living out of it because i know competition for these jobs is really high and will only get worse over the years. i'm very passionate about art and i've no problem being dedicated but i have a fear about becoming a starving artist one day ;__;
the instability of the art world is my main problem (especially with my parents). i've been second guessing myself but i can't escape art. i've tried, and failed. anyone know a way to have a stable and worthwhile art career without all these scary statistics of becoming poor and starving haunting me at night?
