4. then the digital artist
5. if you don't like digital artist also
6. then go home and sleep
You become whatever you focus on, it's a trade-off. Lets break it down like a fraction.

Nerd Life

As a doctor you will spend several years in school memorizing every part of the human anatomy in Latin, at the expense of a social life and diverse experience.

You'll be in debt until your thirties and will work 12 hour days full of stress and surrounded by people suffering who hate the ideal of talking to your face.

All day you will dream about that 2 week vacation, once a year.

You will have a house and a nice car but it won't be a mansion or a Lambo, unless you work as a shill for a pharmaceutical company.

You will likely marry the wrong person because you have no game after spending so much time studying medical journals and hanging around chess nerds.

They will divorce you for the pool boy because you don't spend enough time with them and most of that money will go to the pool boy to maintain their meth habit and pay off their gambling debts and lawyer fees.

However, your mom will be proud.

The Artists Life

The good news is there is no student loans to pay off. The bad news is that any money you make will go to food, rent and bus fare.

Your mom will change the subject when relatives ask about you.

You won't marry but will have several girlfriends with daddy issues. They will leave you for the first doctor that says," Hi", to them or a pool boy.

Unless you are Damian Hirst and willing to wear scarfs in July and hobnob with the rich and sedated and are a marketing genius, you will go mad.

Now, as a madman you will finally start creating some amazing art and have interesting stories because madness is actually quite delightful. Your last skinny hot af girlfriend will steal away any money to pay for her secret meth habit and then you will die broke. Her daddy the dentist ( he calls himself a doctor, even though he is really just a tooth mechanic) will sell your art to a rich client and his third wife will get all the money.

Chose wisely.
Knock Knock.

Who's there?

Doctor Owl.

Doctor Owl Who?

No, but I'm often mistaken for Doctor Who.
