Should I get a second bachelor's degree if I didn't like my career-oriented classes in my first BS degree?

I loved my lower division classes for my Bachelor's. I majored in Interactive Design, and my less-career related classes included drawing, color theory, and visual communication. As I got into the upper division classes, I found I enjoyed them less and less. It's been several years since I graduated, and I would love to have more experiences with a creative-oriented academic environment, as I feel that I don't have enough on my portfolio, nor do I have the knowledge of taking a creative campaign through every 'creation phase', to compete with my more creative-minded peers in the artistic community. I found a program that really speaks to me, that merges art and marketing. I am not currently interested in pursuing graduate level work, as I haven't found a grad program that would help me 'catch up' creatively, whilst also innovating in a business direction*. *I've found graduate programs vaguely in that direction, but they are mostly offered by private institutions, and I do not have the budget to attend a private school (I'm in the US). ADVICE?

How do I proceed when I have a lot of possible careers but not enough experience in any to work full-time?

I realized late into my college experience that I didn't want to work a math job at all so I finished out my Math degree and am now struggling to find a full-time job I feel qualified for. I have a list of 5 or so potential careers (Including but not limited to: Singer-Songwriter, Writer, Naturalist, Photographer, Artist), but I don't feel like I'm at the point where I could pursue any of them full-time. I'm wondering if I should just get a math job and explore the other options in my free-time, if I should just find any job related to my current interests, or if I should put off getting a full-time job until I get a little clearer in my objective. I'm alright on cash for now, I'd just prefer not to live with my parents for longer than I have to. I'm most likely overthinking this and you probably would need some more information to give a solid path forwards, but whatever. I'm here to listen. Thanks for all your help!

what are some investment banking/finance-related opportunities?

I currently study finance at Taylor University, Malaysia. And am interested in investing, banking, finance, economics, and how money works. I was looking for opportunities to work in a related sector such as investment banking or banks in general. Still, I want to know which countries have such opportunities in the finance sector and have demand for it, which can provide a good experience and ability to grow. I know generally that the US is the best option but there is too much competition at the moment so Im searching for the less competitive markets for ex: Europe, Canada, or Arabic countries? Besides that, I wanted to know what courses or work experience I should take during my studies to improve my resume and make me highly qualified in this field.

What factor should determine whether or not you want to pursue a career path; passion for that area or finances you’d make with that career?

I’m requesting this question because I’m stuck between deciding on two different career paths: a pediatrician or an art therapist. The main thing between the two careers holding me back from choosing the other is the financial differences in them.
