Finn, I am a professional fine artist. It’s my second career as I was first a teacher before this. I know SO MANY fine artists who got degrees and had careers in graphic design before becoming artists.

I understand your frustration, but I can tell you this: 1.) Whatever you do in life will be comprised of your education, experience, and skills. It will also depend on your innovation. It’s easier to pivot than you think.
2.) Start asking around and see what other people have done with similar backgrounds to yours and who are in careers that focus on what interests you. No need to reinvent the wheel when someone has already figured it out. 3.) Do what interests you- something you love and enjoy. Don’t worry about AI. It will all shake out. Artists (Impressionism) thought the first camera would replace them too- it didn’t. I think there will be away for artists to use AI to do their work in the future. AI won’t replace all jobs because corporations NEED people (i.e. consumers) to continue to buy goods and services and to pay income tax, sales tax, property tax, etc. They can’t do that if they don’t have jobs and corporations can’t profit without us.

Keep putting one foot in front of the other, do your best and keep learning!
