Idk what to do 🐸

So I’m just starting at college and I know I have time but I feel like I just don’t know exactly what I want to do… well I do but it’s just pretty difficult. I want to be an illustrator and make comics and visual novels and stuff like that but the issue is the salary. Im afraid of doing a career just for salary bc then I end up hating it for the rest of my life. Like nursing for example, I’m only doing classes bc that career earns good amount but for my next semester I planned on only getting my AA degree since I actually don’t want to be a nurse… I mean I love to spend time with children but the idea of them dying or anything related would prob give me PTSD so I rather not do that. And I know that I’ve been suggested that I can work at an office instead but I don’t think that will give me enough money. Idk I just hope that I can find a career that I hope to enjoy and afford me a comfortable living and I want to do it soon.

I'm someone who didn't know what they wanted to do either at that age ...it's common and also ok ....
Take your time ..don't rush into college and end up with lots of debt over something you're not sure of ...it's not worth it ...I know because I did that ...I felt immense pressure from my Mom to go into something I wasn't even sure of and ended up being in debt over it and miserable...it's ok not to know yet ...

@SW-User I appreciate that since I’m literally going through the exact same thing :,) rn I’m just going through classes and I thought of doing graphic design but from what I heard on social media isn’t the best time to get into it rn (I think COVID affected the industry a lot)
