[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok you definitely need to chill out BUT I do have one piece of advice. I was your daughter 30 years ago - passionate about art, very talented, it progressed through high school and I received many accolades for my work. Due to pressure from my parents (lawyer and doctor) and my school counselors (I went to a very science/math focused hs), I opted to go to college for political science instead of art school because it would give me better "career prospects." What a load of sh*t. I now sit on zoom all day in meetings that no one cares about. I have no time in my life for creating and it has left me resentful. I'm considering going back to school to get an MFA and totally switching careers. It's taken a lot of time to realize that I neglected a true passion and talent and that I deeply, deeply regret it. Not everyone is blessed with a true talent in life, PLEASE nurture your daughter's. [/quote]

PP, how you earn your money is not your purpose in life.  If you want to be an artist, go be an artist!  Many artists have day jobs to pay the bills, yours is just zoom meetings not waiting tables...[/quote]
