Getting into the mood

The period of nausea, headaches, late nights and crashing is starting.. the horror -_- June come fast please.
I guess most already know that I'm doing 3d modelling instead of concept art. TBH I took it partially out of the need to secure a job, and half out of doing something I'm interested in. Well if I really had to say what had a better chance it would be VFX due to the enormous post production manpower needed, but I'll think about it later... 3D modelling has some aspects to that too. Have to really decide soon.
Concept art is not easy to get a job with. Do the math and you'll see. Due to the nature of being an artist, you will probably keep going until your hair starts to grey. So count the fact that there's only so many projects at one time on earth, and that artists (obviously) don't quit early, demand is really low unless you are one of the top few. To know how to draw is easy. To know how to draw freaking well and be one of the top few, now that is hard. The bar is really raised for this aspect. Personally, I have to be realistic - if I tried, I might get there one day. But to get a job right out of graduation is not easy with it.
Thankfully, I'm quite interested in modelling having DIY-ed before I entered school. So that's another option that I can and am working towards. I will still draw, no doubt I love to, but I guess it can take a backseat for now. Anyway who cares about what I graduate with. If either portfolio makes the cut, then I'll know where I'll be.
Hmm, I'm getting so indecisive suddenly when I always thought I decided...
