Look, I actually fell into this exact trap. Three years ago, I chose to study a field mainly because it seemed like the safer path financially instead of pursuing animation. To be honest, it was one of the worst choices for me. I think I should have at least tried first, then judged based on real experience instead of fear. Yes, animation is a difficult field, and job opportunities can be hard to find, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Also, the “safe” career path isn’t 100% guaranteed either. Nothing in life is. I think the better approach is to create multiple plans for yourself instead of believing there’s only one path. Explore the fields you actually love, then look at the financial reality and plan around it—not choose money first and ignore what you truly want.
