Why is there some cultural rush to 'make it' nowadays??

You have literally 1000's of hrs and possibly 90+ years to "MAKE IT"... whatever that 'means' considering
the entire art industry is null and void, especially in a monetary sense unless you are helping the rich with their money launder art gallery scheme selling your apple pie splattered on canvas....

Seriously though the industry is dead, computerisation and photograpy and it's uses and utility has killed the need for people to study figures, perspective + more So what has caused this?
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY WHY THE RUSH?? you might be good at some type of art at 60 years of age and no one should care but you!... you know why?
BECAUSE ART IS MEANT TO BE FUN AND RESPECTED, it's a life enhancing hobby for YOU. NOT YOUR AUDIENCE AND THEIR OPINION.

There is zero reason to rush and aspire to do art in the modern world, the profession as literally completely abolished 25 years ago:
>Zero career opportunity
>not viable to live of or live comfortably
>only possible short contract work
>computers and digital graphics can do the job 10x better and more efficiently
>no one has the patience to look at art other than meme value
>no need to study figures and some advanced lessons as you can literally copy and paste a photo and redraw it in minutes
>most contracts will be awarded to the cheapest artist, not based on skill: China and india win most bids as your living standards and wage will be sky high AND if you do want to live off it get used to noodles and NO HOLIDAYS or GADGETS and CARS for LIFE.

So why rush? HAVE FUN INSTEAD AND ENJOY THE MOMENT
