Find a Career That Suits You
Some people have the ability to pursue a career with little to no personal relevance to them. Maybe they find enough fulfillment in the rest of their life that this is not a critical issue.

Eventually I’m hoping to have a space where I can do artwork and set up my art supplies where I don’t need to put them away every night. Or move a painting that’s half dry because someone else needs the space. I’d like to write and illustrate my own books - children’s books and [maybe] fantasy novels for young adults/grownups.
