I want to be an animator for cartoons and movies. I love to draw and I try to keep my head up and be optimistic about it. I try to tell myself it takes passion and effort to land a job as unstable as that one.

But in the back of my mind, I hear the voice saying you’re not going anywhere with a degree for drawing. The voice says it’s not a practical job. Get a real job.

(By the way, when I say voice I don’t mean a schizophrenic voice. I mean like a conscience.)
