What are some stable careers should I get a major for if I'm interested in artistic stuff not doing excessive work ?
That's the type of person I am and I'm just looking in case there is something like that out there

Hello Zion,
Samuel is right — there is no “easy” or “get-rich-quick” path in any artistic career. But I want to add another important angle: technology has changed how artists get discovered, paid, and stay relevant.
Today, artists who move faster aren’t just talented — they are tech-enabled and visible.
Here is how you can get ahead of the curve:
1. Use AI as a creative amplifier, not a shortcut: Tools like OpenArt AI and others won’t replace your creativity, they help you explore ideas faster, refine styles, and experiment. The artist still drives the vision.
2. Build a portfolio that lives online: Post your work consistently. Share progress, concepts, and finished pieces. A visible portfolio attracts opportunities.
3. Contribute and monetize early: Design for communities, games, creators, or small brands. Start small. Real-world feedback builds skill, confidence, and income.
Art becomes “stable” when people can find you, understand your value, and hire you. Talent matters!, but exposure and execution make it sustainable.
Wish you the Best!

Anything artistic will require many hours of study. You’ll study old artists, new artists art trends and demographics just to name a few. Then develop your style of art. It’s not about how much AI that you can use in your art, but the ability to move your viewing audience. You’ll have to network with other people in the art industry painters, sculptors and photographers etc. Pay will come with experience.*
