The bad or good decisions you make in life will compound as the years progress. What to study. Where to work even who to love.
I protest stupid college courses (btw "How does it feel to Dance" is a actual course). However I have spent WAY too much time on hobby crap like video games and miniatures. Also a decade and a half of drinking isn't really much of a money maker.

Art should have been everything when I was at the bottom.

We have a free market and how you choose to engage with that free market is up to you!
I wish you all the best.
