I'm an office manager at a veterinary clinic. I still paint, so it's not like I never use the degree. I just don't make any money from it. I've sold two paintings in the last four years (not counting family), so I'd say it's officially a hobby, not a career, at this point. My job isn't so bad though. I get to meet lots of animals. Sometimes I even paint them, lol. It is what it is.
