<p>Thank you for posting everyone T_T
I read every single one very carefully and
Wow the advices you guys gave me really … helped me a lot.</p>
<p>Thank you I’ll definetly think about double major, although I heard the workload is unbelievable and I also agree about not being bound…
(although I know it in my head, its hard to ignore it completely.)</p>
<p>Again, thankyou. I’m not at all a good writer so I can’t type it down,
but your posts really helped…</p>
<p>I guess I can’t have everything I want so I’ll have to learn to ..give up some things for other.</p>
<p>thankyou my head is a bit more clear now ^^</p>
<p>Nicorobin: I echo the advice to take a double major if at all possible. That way you’ll get more training in studio art and develop your abilities under guidance while still staying broad in the world. You should go to “open studio” events and talk with lots of artists. Many if not most artists who are not employed as graphic designers or the like have regular (“day”) jobs and do their artwork on the side, as often and for as much time as they can. My sister, who has had occasional exhibitions, nevertheless spent most of her time as an elementary school teacher. You’ll find what else you like to do besides your art and, who knows, you still might eventually make it as a full-time artist.</p>
<p>As for the family dynamics, many famiies come to the US to set up a better life for their childresn, and they often have a pretty good idea of what their children ought to be doing. And nevertheless, many children of immigrants go and do all sorts of things that surprise, even horrify their parents (and I’m not speaking of evil or illegal activities, just things that are very different from the parents’ wishes and expectations). So you, too, might do that. And most parents understand and accept, although not usually right away.</p>
<p>And finally, don’t waste your time worrying about what some unknown individual posts on the Internet.</p>
and I also agree about not being bound…
