dont go to art school. art is an activity thats REALLY easily enjoyed in your spare time. even as a parent / spouse there is always enough time to pull out a pencil paper or tablet and just upload your work to the internet for others to enjoy. it doesn't have to be a job or a career for you to do it almost daily.

You shouldn't go to art school until you are able to sell your art
Art school doesn't teach to draw, it's supposed to teach you how to perfect your work
You are probably comparing yourself with people who are a lot better than you wich will keep you feeling bad about yourself

I went to art school.
At 26 i went back to school for nursing degree. I have steady good job now.

That depends on the art school i guess.
Mine was supposed to teach me. It did teach me to draw, to an extent.

Well, that's good you're independant. Maybe i'll do something similar after, i don't know.
I don't plan on giving up on art, but i'll need some time.
