What to do when conflicted over possible majors?
I am an incoming senior in HS. I plan on going down the art path, but do not know whether to do Graphic Design in Marketing, or to go down the Museum Studies path. I am an art student at my school, and plan on joining a student board for an art museum as an internship, but I have always been good at design. I feel as if I need to know my future major to decide on possible colleges, but not knowing what I want to study is holding me back there. Are there other ways for me to make sure I choose the right major to then go on to choose the right college?
How do I become/get a job as an Illustrator?
I have always loved art and drawing growing up and my dream career is to become a graphic novelist/cartoonist. It would be cool to publish my own graphic novels or illustrate other's books but how do I do that? I also would like to know where character designers or concept artists work and what art software do I need to learn to create my art in those career fields?
