Yeah I hear that

09 Jun 21:50

Jun

But I need money for things :<

09 Jun 21:50

Jun

a wait till the court cases and domestic abuse cases solve and we get our money

Money doesn't determine your worth

09 Jun 21:50

Jun

Hahaha, I don't think I can do that. I don't have a single penny to my name

09 Jun 21:49

You're a good dude :D

No disrespect...fuck your grandparents. Do what you want

09 Jun 21:49

Jun

--

As a backup plan, I guess

09 Jun 21:49

Amit Dutta

--

Yep fair enough. I always want to test these assumptions in people just starting out...I know I would have benefitted a HUGE amount from the same thing at the time

09 Jun 21:49

Jun

I can probably even get art gigs right now, but my grandparents don't allow me to. They're stuck on getting me formal education first

09 Jun 21:48

You're correct. I guess one of them will overshadow the other eventually

09 Jun 21:48

Amit Dutta

--

you get sucked into the choices you make...they create ripples that are hard to fight against..but it can be done

09 Jun 21:47

Amit Dutta

--

but switching is definitely possible....but harder

09 Jun 21:47

Jun

--

Art'll be the hobby for now.

09 Jun 21:47

Amit Dutta

--

be singular focused....that is my advice

09 Jun 21:47

Amit Dutta

--

Don't do both...do one

09 Jun 21:47

Amit Dutta

--

ok I've had my say...you have to follow your own journey

09 Jun 21:47

Jun

--

That's why I'll try to do both and apply at some good art institutes only every year

09 Jun 21:47

Amit Dutta

--

but then you are dedicating almost a decade of your life to earning more programming

09 Jun 21:46

Amit Dutta

--

has bigger probabilistic earning potential than art in shorter time for sure though

09 Jun 21:46

Jun

--

Indeed..

09 Jun 21:46

Amit Dutta

--

5-6 years till you get a junior programming gig, earning sub average salary most likely. :)

09 Jun 21:45

Again, I don't want moneys. I just want to live peacefully and have fun. But you're 100% correct.

09 Jun 21:45

Jun

--

IDEALLY I would like to go overseas in a proper art academy and pursue it. But it will take time. I need to build here and live for now.

You can't help anyone else, unless you can help yourself first

09 Jun 21:44

Amit Dutta

--

The biggest factor being what is right for you

09 Jun 21:44

Jun

--

There's just a lot of other factors in my life that I cannot ignore right now

09 Jun 21:44

Jun

--

Nah, you're correct

09 Jun 21:44

Amit Dutta

--

being harsh on this one man, because I have been in your shoes

09 Jun 21:43

I can freelance, though. But they want me to do formal education.
