Lifestyle Goals

Lifestyle goal: be financially stable, live in a moderate sized house with enough room for a small home studio, enjoy myself and use my artistic talent for the good of society (and have a cute dog )

These goals are attainable with all of the careers chosen

All of these careers fall into the arts category, which is what I’ve spent countless hours trying to get my abilities to the point where I could bring myself into this field.
