Life advise ?

| I'm doing my degree in computer science in Singapore.

Honestly I still don't know what to do with my life.
What the rule for becoming successful/satisfied ?
I more of a design/ artist oriented person.
I could do art/design(of any sort ) all day.
My family said there is no money in that field .
I'm so lost cause someone help me and hit me on what's truth about being satisfied and successful.
CS is okay , but not my thing
Please say stick with CS while doing art.

| stick to cs while doing art.
It helps if you set a time limit to your ambitions. Feeling the deadline coming might be depressing and stressful, but it might be the push you need to actually begin doing your thing.
Also keep in mind your family is not all-seeing megaminds, they might be wrong about some things they say. Always analyze the information you get, and make a desicion you truly agree yourself with. Its easier to do what they say because ypu won't take the responsibility


| It's important to have enough resources (mostly money, but also motivation, energy and a network) to sustain the lifestyle of your choice. That may mean living on the cheap while doing what you love, it may also mean finding a different balance. You could stick with CS while doing art, or do something else while doing art. Or do art and find some way to make enough money from it.

These things usually take some time to develop, they don't happen in an instant.


| Also there is no rules of becoming satisfied, only odds and possibilities.
If your are not sure what to do with your life, it might help get your thought in order if you will think about death instead. Like, if you would die tomorrow, would you be glad the way you lived until today? Do you like the things you are doing, or would you rather do something else that you like more?
There always will be risks. Your survival, opinions of people you care about, etc.


| ^ try to plan ahead on the first thing tho, it won't be any good if you will actually die because of rushing things. Mind your surroundings, your resources and possibilities for achieving what you seek.
