There's no retirement for an artist, it's your way of living so there's no end to it. Options

Do you see (realistically) yourself going anywhere in the future with whatever digital medium you work with? What I'm meaning to ask is, is it just a hobby or do you expect to make bank off of it? If you think you can make a living off of it, what makes you think you're capable of doing so, when there are so many other capable designers and such out there? Obviously, if you're already living the dream (so to speak), I don't expect you to answer these, haha (directed to some of our very own members; props).

Me, I'm definitely not creative or knowledgeable enough in any digital field to make a living off of it. I've tried a little of everything, and it all interests me--I'm just not exceptionally good at any one field (or any field, for that matter).

I started much later than most of the artits here.

At this point, there's just no way I could start a career in digital arts, no matter how badly I wanted to.

I can only hope that certain job duties I may have will include digital art types of tasks. I was able to update and design certain pages from one of my positions at the University. I also helped design one of their icons for the program. That was great, great fun.
