[Passion Project] Do any other artists feel pressure to “give up” art for practical careers?

Hi! - I’m a student artist currently working on a small project called ‘Still an Artist’

It’s about something I’ve personally struggled with and I know a lot of other artists do too - feeling like you have to eventually leave art behind to pursue a “stable” career path (medicine, science, etc.)

I’m trying to understand how common this experience is and how it affects people’s relationship with creativity.

I made a short anonymous survey and would really appreciate hearing from other artists and students here:

Thank you so much if you take part - even just reading this means a lot!!
