i’m currently in college and have to pick a major to study. i’ve always loved the arts, but you won’t make any money off of them in this world if you don’t already have connections. i’m forced by my parents who are helping me pay for my degree to go into a science or mathematical degree even though i hate it. i’ve argued with them since i was a child, but they refuse to let me get any other degree. the worst part is i understand them. going to an art school or getting an art degree are useless. they don’t pay well and job demand is always decreasing. at this point, i’d rather be depressed and financially stable than happy and poor. i have to pick a major by the end of this year, and i cry myself to sleep every night thinking about spending the rest of my life doing what i hate just for money. that’s life though. i’m crying because i have to go to college to study something i don’t like while some people can’t even afford it. i know i sound like a privileged spoiled brat, but i have to rant about it somewhere. next time you guys meet a scientist, engineer, doctor, or lawyer, it might be me waiting to decide which day is my last. and if you meet a painter, designer, poet, or model, be happy they were able to do what they wanted most in life. i’m crying while writing this and i hope it will be the last time, but i know it’s not. i wish one day money will fall out of the sky and i won’t have to major in something i hate just to make a livable wage. to all the artists out there, i’m jealous. i’m jealous of you and your freedom to create every day. please cherish it.

Hi. I just wanted to say that I just got a dishwashing job at a restaurant last Thursday, and that even though everybody expected much of me- college, etc. - that it is really between you and God what you do. You don't have to just be a cog in the machine and do what looks the best and what is going to make your parents happy. They aren't going to be happy knowing that you are so dissatisfied with your life. I pray that you can align yourself with your greatest purpose. Thank you.
ReplyYou have a dramatic flare, maybe a theatre major. Art covers a lot of territory. Got any musical talent, voice or instrument?
