PhD needed for the position 4) low salary 5) parents weren't supportive
Then, I listened to my family and switched to a Business major. I finished two semesters worth of business classes, and liked that it was safe and practical, but for the most part, I was miserable! I knew had to leave because I felt like I had been suppressing my creativity.
I figured that I needed to go back to art and do something more "hands-on", so I started over and switched to Graphic Design (with business as a minor instead). I am satisfied with this decision, and I know it is just right this time!  I think deep down, I knew that I would do something art-related... I just had to stop listening to other people, LOL. |
Hopefully you're less starving and more artist. I can't say the same for myself...starving artist strife.
I'm beginning to sell my art on ebay though.
I'm Sunshine btw. Hi.
