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

2017-10-16 10:23:45 UTC  

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

2017-10-16 10:24:08 UTC  

Wouldnt spend ages there just enough to get some good skills

2017-10-16 10:35:49 UTC  

if you're good at something

2017-10-16 10:35:55 UTC

2017-10-16 10:36:21 UTC  

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

2017-10-16 10:36:34 UTC  

i spent exactly ZERO years in higher education

2017-10-16 10:36:41 UTC  

thankfully

2017-10-16 10:36:58 UTC  

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

2017-10-16 10:38:01 UTC  

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

2017-10-16 10:38:10 UTC  

Wow man

2017-10-16 10:38:20 UTC  

could you maybe consult my lil brother?

2017-10-16 10:38:33 UTC  

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

2017-10-16 10:38:36 UTC  

regardless of what it is

2017-10-16 10:38:42 UTC  

whats' your brother do?

2017-10-16 10:40:28 UTC  

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

2017-10-16 10:40:43 UTC  

He made very nice pictures with coal and graphit

2017-10-16 10:40:54 UTC  

then from one day to the next he just stopped

2017-10-16 10:41:01 UTC  

and he went into psychology

2017-10-16 10:41:13 UTC  

he had a real talent for art

2017-10-16 10:41:21 UTC  

he has no talent at all whatsoever for psychology

2017-10-16 10:42:20 UTC  

he probably had a reason for it

2017-10-16 10:42:44 UTC  

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

2017-10-16 10:43:02 UTC  

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

2017-10-16 10:43:08 UTC  

and now i make waaay more money than he does

2017-10-16 10:43:16 UTC  

good for you!

2017-10-16 10:43:25 UTC  

is it too late to start doing art at 25?

2017-10-16 10:43:33 UTC  

never is

2017-10-16 10:43:48 UTC  

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

2017-10-16 10:43:55 UTC  

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

2017-10-16 10:44:09 UTC  

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

2017-10-16 10:44:15 UTC  

there's infinite resources online

2017-10-16 10:44:21 UTC  

just need the discipline for it

2017-10-16 10:44:27 UTC  

if you have no discinpline, don't do art

2017-10-16 10:44:43 UTC  

you should be working on crafting discipline first lol

2017-10-16 10:45:31 UTC  

I actually am inbterested in wood-carving

2017-10-16 10:45:45 UTC  

drawing and painting? I'M not good there

2017-10-16 10:45:50 UTC  

and I have no singing voice 😃

2017-10-16 10:46:03 UTC  

doesnt matter what you're good at

2017-10-16 10:46:06 UTC  

you can GET good at anything

2017-10-16 10:46:43 UTC
