How Does it all Relate?

Another prompt, how does this class... rather, the work we're doing in this class, relate to my career goals? The work relates to all of my interests, but in rather vague ways. For example, I like art. I was able to draw scenes for the game. (Rather poorly, may I add. I'm not a fan of the computer mouse as an artist's utensil.) My work in classical mediums is much better, in my opinion. Also, I like literature. Of course, I haven't done any sort of literary work in this class, but I have had to write particular thoughts and such down; I suppose that helps.

Really, this boils down to me not being completely sure what I want to do. I'd like to find a way to be able to write or create art in a career; just because I'm not very good at either doesn't mean I haven't been born to do it! Look at Andy Warhol and his complete lack of any technical talent or that Twilight-writin' lady. Also, every modern career seems so limiting. Classical interests are dead for the most part. There's no room for experimentation, it's all efficiency for the well-being of your fellow man. I sometimes wonder if my fellow man is really doing so well. I wonder if he yearns for a more classical lifestyle or if he's content knowing he is doing productive work and living a prosperous life.
