Quitting engineering to pursue art full-time

Bruh I was just opening up my computer to apply for a CS masters to advance my career as a languages & humanities degree holder turned SE who always wanted to do art. Now I'm back to thinking I should try and work on art until it can take over my career.

It's sort of upsetting that doing something I'm bad at (SE) makes me more money than anything I'm good at. Feels like it traps me.

i'm also a humanities degree holder turned software engineer. i recently quit my job so i can work on my art. do it!!!!! my spirit is so much better. fuck computers.

I went from art to software. I feel like software is the ultimate form of creative expression.

You can make art with code and make a living from it. Start looking at generative and algorithmic artists for some inspiration. Owning one of these pen plotters (look at the axidraw and next draw) helps too.
