How much money does a forensic artist make and how much money does a toxicologist make?
I am in my last year of middle school and I am stuck between wanting to be an artist or a forensic artist or a toxicologist. My ideal job would be to be an artist and sell my work (if someone could give ways to sell art that would be much appreciated) but I have heard that artists do not make much money. My next two would be to be a forensic artist or a toxicologist. How much money do they make yearly and what would their schedule look like? I have greatly enjoy art and I have been told that my art is good, so going off of that with practice obviously I think I could sell my art.

How do I become an art therapist?
I'm an artist and a first year college student in NYC (Withdrew from second semester). Originally, I was working towards a computer graphics degree (which included art). However, I'm no longer interested in the tech field and after sometime, I realized the mental health field is something I wanted to work in. I quickly found that art therapy sounds right up my ally. My current college doesn't provide that degree so I've spent hours researching the different schools that offer it and have been hit with dead ends or very confusing information. If any art therapists in NYC can give me insight on how you got your degree and which school(s) are accredited or have the courses that accredited school take, that would be amazing. Also, is there a less costly way to become one? So far, all the school in NY that offer it have 5 digit tuitions even with financial aid.
where and when do i start? multi-media artist with no direct plan
I'm Jada, hello. Maybe this will make a lot of sense or it will sound terribly cliche. I know where I want to go as an artist, but the reality is that I don't know where to start. My strongest inspiration is my favorite singer-songwriter, Lady Gaga. With certainty, if Gaga weren't one of the best models of how I'd like to act and work via art in a variety of disciplines, I wouldn't pursue my aspirations. But, as an 11th grader in high school, my alternatives are currently rather constrained. I want to be a strong competent worker, however, it seems I can't discover the ability to learn anything new. Even in class, I'm having trouble. I just need some instruction along the road. Although self-teaching has not been effective, I do strive to keep trying for everything. Even though I haven't learned how to make a Resume, it appears that I can here, which is encouraging. Any advice on how to study or learn better depending on my style of learning would be greatly appreciated. Moreover, it would be really helpful if anyone knew of any free resources I could use to either become a professional or develop the necessary skills. Thank you
