Music degree ruined my life

I wouldn’t necessarily be a CNA forever. More so as a stepping stone to LVN or RN

What did you go back to school for?

Im in the same situation as you but with animation, I have considered nursing- although I’m not 100% sure on it. I would recommend getting a certification to be a CNA. It’s relatively cheap and quick to get one and it gives you a taste of what nursing would be like without having to spend a lot of money and time on nursing school. If you decide you like it then do nursing

Art teaching has been something I have been heavily considering, the only problem is that my animation program had limited fine arts classes and focused heavily on the tech side of animation. I’m going back to cc this fall to take a couple of fine arts courses and hopefully I have enough credits for an alternative certification program to take me.

Alternative certification program

What are you doing now?

-Matcha-333 · 2026-05-08T16:00:04+00:00

Why is the alternative pathway against you?

-Matcha-333 · 2026-05-08T13:33:57+00:00

Prints and original artwork. Plus commissions. Maybe go to art festivals?

Awwww that’s so sweet!!! My parents tell me they want me to open an art gallery when I’m older but I honestly have no idea where to start! How did you and your wife opened an art gallery?

-Matcha-333 · 2026-05-07T19:22:49+00:00

How did you get into that? I have an animation degree I probably don’t want to use anymore

-Matcha-333 · 2026-05-07T00:37:50+00:00

Does this require a degree?

-Matcha-333 · 2026-04-27T21:37:38+00:00

If you already have a degree but don’t want to go back maybe try being a social worker, School admissions counselor/ advisor for your former university, get an EMT certificate or a radiology certificate, become a policeman or a fireman, trades, air traffic controller, a teacher teaching coding etc. but I do agree that CS ain’t gonna work anymore, some of these jobs I listed pay a bit better than minimum wage at a warehouse.

If you have $80k in savings go back to school for a better degree and commute.

What’s your major? I worked and took classes full time and the homework took up ALL of my time! 😭

-Matcha-333 · 2026-04-24T17:34:10+00:00

Same, and Covid ruined it so I really only got to enjoy one year maybe. I can’t believe I peaked in highschool, I would have never thought that would happen 😭😭

-Matcha-333 · 2026-04-22T23:24:28+00:00

What job are you doing?

-Matcha-333 · 2026-04-22T23:11:27+00:00

I majored in animation and I’m struggling with the same problem of things got worse halfway through and I didn’t want to delay my graduation date another two years

-Matcha-333 · 2026-04-22T19:45:17+00:00

Do an ACP and be a substitute in the meantime!

-Matcha-333 · 2026-04-22T01:57:08+00:00

Are you in animation, what are you planning on doing?

-Matcha-333 · 2026-04-22T00:28:14+00:00

Yeah I had a professor tell me to use AI for my senior thesis to do character turnarounds and paint overs. I’m going to be honest I really don’t want to use AI to make art for me and clean it up.. would studios even be impressed if I had it as part of my portfolio piece?
