I am literally only in this to make money and retire my parents asap, but man does this feel like such a drag, every class I have right now I have literally zero passion towards nor am I good at. My passion is in the arts, like designing furniture, clothes, websites, drawing, making stories, or heck even making music. I suck so I try improving at those each day but it's getting harder and harder to put time into it especially with the amount of work I have to do for college and working a part time job. I love my parent very much and I'm very grateful for the opportunity that they've given me. It's understandable that my parents want to major in something useful and they mean well, but man those options I just have zero interest towards. But I also know that it's pretty unlikely to make a decent amount of money pursuing the arts. I cannot imagine me working a job in the future as a software engineer but the idea of me working at an arts job is even more vague simply because I just have no idea of what to expect and how to go into those jobs. I tried looking into it but none of the results seem good? I've looked at other alternatives like trade school, apprenticeship, design/art school and others but with my current situation it just seems very unlikely and far out of reach. What the hell do I do?
