[AHOHA]

I am an "artsy" person myself, both digital (3D, photography, vfx, animation, manipulation, digital drawing, infographics, etc.) and traditional (drawing, craft, sculpting, etc.), However, it's just as a hobby as others mentioned here, it will be a struggle when it comes to financial support even if you are top of the line. What I did instead is going into engineering (electrical one, yeah sounds far even with software devs), but you would be surprised how your artsy skills play a big factor in your work, because at the end of the day, your data/info/ideas/etc. needs to be presented and communicated, either internally or with clients, and it actually most of the time put me ahead of my colleagues/competitors.
