Getting a degree in Ceramics and feeling pretty shitty about choosing something I love over something practical. Would love some affirmation that I’m making an okay choice. That’s a mug I made for context ❤️
Just because you love it doesn't mean it can't be practical. Making ceramics provides something useful to people, and you can make a business of it. Plus, it seems like you have a real talent for it.
b.) I did a degree in something practical (politics). I went and worked a job in it, and was in a position to start a career in it, and I....saw what I was looking down the barrel of and noped the fuck out and went back to school for what I love (history), and am working on a doctorate. You're making the right choice. When you love something, you fight for it.

That's one beautiful mug! And the coffee cup looks nice, too.
