A rant I wrote because I had to get it out of me...

I know the feeling. Although I'm not in college, I haven't gone for that exact reason, afraid of going for a degree in something that'll be just a miserable as my current job. I rack my brain over and over trying to figure out if I'm doing the right thing or not. I still don't know... Sometimes I still feel that I'm wasting my time writing. I mean, who reads anymore?
It isn't fair that talent does not equal success. You'd think that people who are actually good at what they do should succeed--that people who are genuinely passionate and take their craft seriously are the ones who do well in life. But from what I've seen, it doesn't work that way. Only the pirates succeed. The people who know how to use others to get their way succeed the most in life. It's awful, it's unfair, it's frustrating, but it's the only world we've got. We're all doing the best we can to make a way in it. We're trying to find a balance between the drudgery of survival and doing what actually makes us happy.

I would have enjoyed a more artish major myself, but I didnt go for that because I also knew I wouldnt get anywhere with it. I am not even sure my current major will take me anywhere either. It is depressing that more jobs havent opened up in the field and that the space is so limited for talent for better or for worse. My family has told me to just do what I want to do, and I am thankful that they support me, but under the hidden support is still that small tint of hoping I go with a career that ends up doing well or more open than art. I am also not that great or experienced in art, but it is something I do throughouly enjoy.
I agree much to what Tagenar said as well.
The only thing I can say that wont help much is that I know that the arts program at my college on a certrain track, they bog you down in it so much that you actually start hating art and why you even chose the major to begin with. So maybe it is good that you're in computer science so you can still love to draw and have not being an arts major totally kill you with it. :<
