Question:What are some decent careers for creative (nonscientific) people. I want to be an Actress but I need a back up plan. I wanted to be a costume designer but everyone around me keeps shooting me down for that. What is a career that is for artsy people. Suggest anything! I can't stand the thought of being a freaking doctor or something like that! I hate chemistry and math even though I'm good at both which suck bc everyone wants me to pick a "solid" career that's gonna give me lots of money when really all I want to do is get out there and try my best at acting! Im tired of them shooting all of my ideas down! I'm graduating from High School next month and I don't know what the H*** to do with myself. I have been accepted to three Universities but. My mom wont fill out my fasfa (another complication). They should be glad I even want to go to college after the h*** they've been giving me!
