I think a lot will depend on the nature of your specific talent and temperament. Have you asked your art teacher to help you get work experience placements in both fields so that you can get some first hand insights into what is really involved?

I would weigh your options. What will make you more money or what will make you happier. Look in to yourself for answers . You are an artist by heart , and most artists i know are very passionate and love what they do . I would follow what you love the most and just go head first into it and never back down or let anyone run you over. Yet do what you want , and do not lose yourself in the process.

Check into the Art Instatude. There is one in AZ. and one in Colorado. My daughter looked into it and they even have some online classes, they would to help you develope your skills and help you in the right direction. And you can get an asso. degree within 2 years there. They also have job placement and some of there contact are with major company such as Disney, the game industry, and so much more. I also spent my years in highschool in art and I took a class at the college in Drafting. I am 46 now and wish I had followed my dream. It took me all these year. And I did go back to school for Graphic Design and Desktop Publishing. It is a good industry if you live in a large area. I live in a small area and it had been very difficalt to get work. I now work for a beauty supply co. Creating there sales catalog. But the pay is bad, due to the fact of where I live. I could be making anywhere from 30 thousand to 50 thousand a year if I lived in a big city or area. But I would suggest you follow your heart. What do you enjoy drawing...And look to see what the oppertunity are in those field. Also if you like design. Here is a area you can join free and sell your designs online and get paid a commision on what you sell. http://www.zazzle.com/tonniek Take a look around and see is this is something you think you would enjoy doing. Sign up and create your own gallery. It is fun and it is a way to get your art seen. and possible make a little money from home. There is never a cost to you to sell...
