Got a c in french

Classic brit/American

Literally nobody can speak anything but english, learning languages isn't my strong point

Debt too from uni

If I keep my politics to myself or tone it down I should be alright

Long term goal is to become autonomous or move to join this community

Wouldnt spend ages there just enough to get some good skills

if you're good at something

see about being able to do that shit freelance

i'm an artist myself, i hold a steady job in my art, and freelance and consult on the side

i spent exactly ZERO years in higher education

thankfully

becuase now i'm many years ahead of anyone else ay my age in my industry

not having any higher degrees is considered a BONUS in many indusrties

Wow man

could you maybe consult my lil brother?

do what you love, and be great at it, if you're good enough at it, people will pay you shitloads of money for it

regardless of what it is

whats' your brother do?

well... my brother had a 3 year period of intensively training as an artist.

He made very nice pictures with coal and graphit

then from one day to the next he just stopped

and he went into psychology

he had a real talent for art

he has no talent at all whatsoever for psychology

he probably had a reason for it

it's a common thing where people who're good at it get discouraged by people telling them that art doesnt make money

my dad did the same, and he's an artist himself and was like 'dont make the mistake i made' lmao

and now i make waaay more money than he does

good for you!

is it too late to start doing art at 25?

never is

I wouldn't want to make money with it, just for my own entertainment

most 'famous' people never started doing their thing until they were like 30 or 40 or something

and how fast you improve is 100% in your own hands

there's infinite resources online

just need the discipline for it

if you have no discinpline, don't do art

you should be working on crafting discipline first lol

I actually am inbterested in wood-carving

drawing and painting? I'M not good there
