I want to paint, I want to design, I want to create.
But unfortunately I don't have the right education to work with it. I mean.. Of course you need math, history and social studies and all that jazz to be able to study or work with art!
And a second unfortunately --> I am too freaking lazy and unmotivated to study with things I hate to study about.
And it doesn't get better because of my anxiety problems.. Can't move too far away from home to start anew or else my scumbag brain will go haywire!
So bye bye art and hello making burgers at a local McDonalds.
First world problems much?

I'm a 4th year undergraduate student concentrating in illustration and I can tell you with absolute confidence that it has nothing to do with the classes you take. I attend a pretty good art school, and even then, I've learned very little in classes that I couldn't/wouldn't have learned on my own. It has everything to do with personal motivation. If you keep painting and designing, you will be just as competitive as anyone else. Nobody looks at your degree or what school you attended, they look at your portfolio and work resume.
Do not stop. Your art inspires me to become better.
Sup Leth. Haven't been around recently. I'll tell you why.
I quit university (because law is boring as arse and there is no jobs at the end of it) and got a career. I'm a trainee hotel manager now. I'm doing stuff like marketing, accounting, finances, etc etc,. No previous experience in any of this, and yet inexplicably I'm doing great at this job.
My point is these days having the "correct" education is counting for less and less. Employers are more and more concerned with actual experience in work. i.e. Being employed.
I'm got a postgraduate job without even graduating, so you can get a job requiring a high artistic ability. You just need to know where to look and who to talk to. Start small. Get employed in anything you can get your hands on to start off with and start moving yourself slowly towards careers that revolve around art. The more you do this, the easier it'll be to get what you want, and the easier it'll be for employers to give that to you.
Any museums around your area?
Many people, doesn't matter which country, religion or culture, hardly believes on an art carreer once you haven't "prove" that you're capable to maintain yourself and be able to have some success in life only with that.
I had the "lucky" (I wouldn't call it luck because I never knew why all that happened; I sucked on studying and attending college test as well), to find some jobs that reflected some kind of art on some level, but even being a great and easy life to other people's perspectives, to me was kind a nightmare: once you achieve something you want, everybody wants results, and you know by experience that's pretty demanding to be the best where you are good at it. And then, with time all that fun and passion fades away, becoming something purely mechanical and almost something you feel sick by doing it.
Please, don't become that person.
Life can be hard, but if wasn't hard it would be a bucket of boredom and -why not to mention- a truly Satan's workshop. Sometimes the anxiety and fears may invade your mind, but don't stop fighting for yourself and your dreams. Sacrifices may occur? Yeah, and the cost can bring pains, but no pain no gain, though. Try to search good ways to show your art, even if you have to conciliate a job completely contrary (while the perfection don't come, you can at least pay your bills, lol)of wnat you really search for. I know that I'm not completely aware of IRL, but even being distant, I'm still a friend. I would gladly to guide and help whenever you need, because you can't throw away your love for art once you have born to it. ;_;
Well, I don't really even know you, but I can tell that no matter what you end up doing, your art will be there with you.
