[quote=Anonymous]I think you should look for a different job in your field and meanwhile wait it out. If your job disappears, that would be great - you can take some time and spend some on your artistic pursuit. It doesn't sound like you have a viable career plan for the artistic pursuit, which is pretty much the nature of art (for example, if you are a writer, saying you'll write your novel over the course of a year is not going to lead to the equivalent of a 6-figure salary with benefits, or anything close - and that's assuming you actually complete it within a year, which is tight, and publish it, all unfortunately unlikely outcomes). The problem with quitting to do the art full time is that you have the money pressure so you know you have to go back in a finite time, and job hunting will suck up a tremendous amount of your psychic and physical energy during that period. It's really hard to time the getting of a job and if you know you will need one, better to start searching now. Good luck![/quote]
