Can 100% support Al-Anon. Great program.
What is your discipline? I personally am a graphic designer, but I also shoot and edit video, learned to produce shoots, and shoot and edit edit photo when needed, though I’m definitely nothing specia with photo. I love animating my designs in after effects and I have made myself pretty damn good with html, css, JavaScript and web flow. You gotta be open to things. Creativity is all connected. Any boring PowerPoint deck can be a creative challenge.
But remember that you’re working is worth real money. Everyone else thinka you do nothing and you’ll have to earn all of your respect. Be kind and humble. It is possible.
To add some positivity… Art is absolutely something you can make money with. It’s a struggle and you’re going to be poor for most of your early career, but that goes for most jobs. Make art.
God damnit now I want to know.
