RE: I'm making a HUGE decision in my life ... I am switching my major from Business to Art!
I wish you success, but not sure everyone can make a living as being an artists. i hope steem proves me wrong...
we live in world where people sitting in a cubicle are needed
I agree that being a straight-up artist is probably not realistic or even reliable. But its how I will apply the skill that will lead to success. My plan is reaching beyond the notion of being just a plain ol artist, I have some cool ideas swirling around in my head.
So my plan I am culminating is to start a non-profit to help disabled veterans suffering from PTSD. There is a personal reason behind all this which in itself warrants another story. I want to somehow tie creating artwork into fundraising for these veterans. I ideally want to start like an outdoors program or retreat for vets out here in Montana with the money I raise. Oh boy, this idea might be growing too big for its britches!
Luckily, I have a lot of career experience and have been self-employed (I owned a computer repair biz for a couple of years). I specialize in business marketing, mainly online reputation management, social media management, content creation, web design, and SEO. So I am thinking with my existing career skills, my entrepreneur experience, and with building technical art skills, I can pull off something super awesome.
Worst case scenario I graduate with a degree and keep doing what I am doing, lol.
Thanks for all of your support!
