Don’t Quit Your Day Job…Just Yet

An art career doesn’t mean you’re never going to make money. Like every field there are different jobs that you could end up making a lot of money, or none at all. Keep in mind that ever career is a risk – not just one in art.

But until you make it, don’t quit your day job. I’ve been selling art for years and I still am a waitress at night. You gotta pay the bills somehow, especially when in college. If you’re selling your stuff then you’re one step ahead of some others, but that doesn’t mean your career is taking off and you can now quit that crappy minimum wage job you had in high school. Build up your finances and your bank account, and quit when you CAN not when you want to. Yes, it sucks, but unfortunately it’s life. And just because you’re talented doesn’t mean you have access to the world’s riches. You can get there one day, but not just yet.
