I don’t think this is good advice. There are artists who can succeed with their hobbies or other examples and they don’t hate their work or hobbies. Also I don’t agree that the sole reason you choose a career is to “feed you” or to sacrifice parts of your life.
Sure this can be a temporary situation because you need to survive but I don’t understand how you give this as career advice. It’s literally the opposite.
Maybe this is your personal situation at the moment. However this is not a fulfilling life or career long-term.
Okay, thank you brother, what you said patches up what I said and I said that because this was advice given to me by a friend back when I was in college and having a future crisis. I made weights on every choice I made long ago and yeah it hurt back then. But now I made myself a choice on how I'm going to live earning, it's a career that earns a lot but I might be involved in military tech sooner.
And about sacrificing parts of your life, I don't mean it in a way that it's going to remove something but take away some time to do something. Well this was just how I saw it then.
Those artists are very lucky to make it like that and I commend them for it. They are very lucky.
To the OP, make a wise choice, just take my advice that I gave as a grain of salt. Sorry I failed to help out.
