torn
can someone please tell me what my profession is supposed to be for the rest of my life?
kthanx.
i'm so exhausted and stressed about this huge crossroads that i'm at.
graphic design vs. photography.
i wish i could have the faculty for both areas get together and have a verbal deathmatch for why i should go into either of them. that would make it way easier, i think.
plus it would be hella entertaining.
anyway, i looked at the graphic design bfa show today, and it's totally awesome. just really flashy and eye catching and you can't help but like it. that's the point, but it doesn't help me come to a conclusion.
i'm supposed to schedule an interview for graphic design this week, but i don't know if i even want to do it. i think i'm going to interview and then decide once i get in -- if i do get in. ugh.
photography is just so much more appealing to me as a career. i really want to get to the point where companies are paying me to travel the world and to shoot products or whatever for them. my main concern is that i'm going to graduate from graphic design and never be able to express myself artistically again. i don't want to be limited to just commercial application.
i talked to my photo teacher today and he said the most successful photographers shoot commercial stuff constantly, but have the ability to either have no opinion about it or just laugh at it because it's so ridiculous.
i think i could do that. my teacher thinks so too, which is encouraging.
so the semester drones on and the stress builds.
at least i think jackie and i have an apartment settled on. we're bagging the landing altogether and going for the elmwood apartments on campus. there's a flat rate rent, which means no electricity, heat, or gas bills, and it's on campus so we don't need a car for that, and i can still cook.
i think that this is an answer to my prayers on the apartment side of things, but now i'm just trying to figure things out career-wise.
