Ugh. Well it sounds like I'm going to nursing school. Not my first, second, third, fourth, hell even my tenth choice, but its something manageable that will make a reliable steady decent income while I attempt to pursue my art. Yes, there are a million other things I'd rather be doing but at the moment this is the only one which will guarantee me employment which will then enable me to follow my other interests. Besides it will be good to get some more life experience so I can really figure out what it is I want to specialize in. Don't believe me that this isn't even my tenth choice? Here's a list of the top ten other things I'd rather be doing?
Top Ten Things I'd Rather be Doing than Nursing
1. Winning Bravo's Work of Art The Next Great Artist
2. Studying Character Animation at Cal Arts
3. Getting a Masters of Fine Arts in Photography
4. Getting a Masters of Fine Arts in either Filmmaking, Directing, Cinematography or Screenwriting
5. Spend a year in Hawaii finishing my screenplay
6. Get a job as a high school art teacher
7. Spend a year in the peace corps
8. Work for a video game company doing any kind of art
9. Spend a year in a latin american country making art and living well for little money
10. Spend a year backpacking/hitchhiking cross country/the americas/europe
Other things that would be preferable to becoming a nurse include studying video game design/programming, be an au pair for a year, selling mary jane, becoming a wealthy older man's house boy, working as a bartender on a cruise ship, and working at a national park. Oh well, if I become a nurse I'll be able to move anywhere I want and always be able to find work. I feel a bit like the longer I live at home the more my parents kill my spirit.
