Well I do have the motivation and I'm ready to work my socks off! That's all I ask for!
The thing is, I'm a 2nd year student in an art school in Switzerland right now and still have 2 years to go. And I absolutely don't like it there.
It's not fulfilling and really bad quality teaching (even though they are nice people). I'm not fulfilled there and I don't feel like I'm learning at all.. So I'm actually thinking about dropping off school, which I discussed with my parents (who pay that school). They weren't pleased about it at all.. So if I want to leave school, they need me to have a "concrete" plan and so do I. Or at least a little bit of outside/foreign teaching, getting to know other people, artists, going abroad etc.. (Nothing worth it here in Switzerland)
I'm ready to fully commit to my art and all I want is to spend my days doing that, improve and get a job, but I just cannot drop off school (and Bachelor degree) and tell my parents "Well, now my plan is to sit all day long at my desk everyday and draw. I promise I'll get better and it's a better plan than going to that crappy school!".
I need a ""real" plan. Maybe I should drop off school, get a part time job and pay for online teaching, that could be great... But as I said, that doesn't sound like a "concrete" plan to "regular" parents. :P
So I'm a bit stuck here, I don't know what to do.. :(
All I know is that painting and creating stuff is ALL I want to do with my life.
