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).

Considering there are so many designers out there, I think that going to school would make you more credible and easier to hire. There are alot of businesses that are popping up that need a good designer to make them a site, graphics, logos, you name it. But also, considering there are a lot of people who do it, then competition is tough.

I just do it for fun. I suck at it, so I really don't see a future in it for myself. Definitely not. It's not my path, and probably never will be. If it is, cool, but I don't see it happening.
