I have several options for careers actually...it's just I haven't truly set my heart on one yet.

I think the one I'd be able to handle the most would have to be a print shop, lol.

And then I've got the options of being a mangaka, of which I'm fully capable of doing except for making stories(this is one of the hardest things for me, but I can do a good job if I really try.)

But then again I love to make digital music, but I'd rather keep that as a hobby, so that I don't get sick of doing it. Although it's sorta the same with animating. But animating is pretty darn fun and when I set my heart on doing it I make quick progress and advancement....I might do some free lancing to make money too.

If I trained really hard in these arts, I could manage to get to be a producer, but that's a hard and not so steady road.

I also have yet another option of being a Networking Manager.


which do you think I should try to aim for? Help me out a bit, I haven't truly set my heart on doing one as a career.

The most stable one would be going into graphics design and shit like that. Music isn't a good idea, animating is even worse an idea.

Well really, study some real job that's less risky and keep on track with all that other shit, maybe some day you'll find an opportunity but that way, you won't be fucked if you don't.

Also, make sure you have a job you can get for sure as back-up.
Because if not and it doesn't work out, your ****ed.

Take the risk if it means that much to you. I'm gonna risk everything and go to Hollywood to try to break into the movie buisness.

Animation isn't an awful choice. You can get a job at a studio that offers a paycheck, Freelance can give you some extra cash or the only cash, and it's a job of art-ing, so portfolio in animation can make Graphic Design a perfect backup. I think that's why I'm going for it.

If you were serious you wouldn't be asking us about it, you would be asking yourself. Because really only you know what you want, and if none of those are really where your heart is keep looking yo.

My math teacher once gave us a lecture about careers.

"If you have a shitty job, you have a shitty 4/5 of your day while you're awake. If you have a shitty 4/5 of your day from 18 to around 70, you have a shitty 3/4 of all of your days. So if you have a shitty 3/4 of your days, 3/4 of your entire life SUCKS!!!"

He really hated his job. ._.
