@tillianisafox I agree overall with previous commenters that this is a pretty big descision to leave to a poll online
speaking from my own experience, I went to (visual) art school for illustration and in my 3rd-4th year realized I should've picked graphic design or fine art instead (I graduated illustration but that's because I'm stubborn)
not sure I have much else advice to give because I've burnt myself out over the social media/competitive aspect of the creative industry
