>>5970850>there are no career paths that i find tolerableReally?
Is art seriously the only thing you have any interest in at all? Nothing else? Not even a little?
Libraries, mathematics, botanic, teaching whatever, there's so much out there...
> i'm studying a degree I hateSo you're still a student?
Why don't you study something art related instead then? Not enough money?
>now i'm just a far below mediocre artist with no futureYou can still get better at art in your freetime if you don't want to change careers.
I hope you picked something that allows for a lot of freetime to draw.
