I know the feeling. Everyone in my major decided the ONLY thing they could do with their degree is teach or just be an artist. I on the other hand used my skills as an artist to get a job in retail, that is not helping bastard customers, I am a Visual Merchandising Assistant. Some day I want to have my own store and be the Visual Manager and make all the cool choices. No one understood why I would leave the comfort of just staying at my college and going for teaching to go live in NYC and be very poor but very happy. Even my parents were concerned I wasn’t doing what i wanted and was making a bad choice. I think more people should try different fields and find what really works for them. I know for a fact my worst nightmare is being stuck in a room with angry teens who hate me for making them take art or a room of screaming 6 year-olds covered in paint.

"…some of us aren’t capable of deciding our future at the age of 18, and even if we think we know, college doesn’t always prepare us for what lies ahead in life." – I wish more parents would admit this and give us the much-needed support we need during this rough time! It would definitely relieve some of the pressure to cave in.
