This is why I want to go into Art Therapy.  I have a sense of helping people in some way during my life.  To have a job doing it or volunteering somehow.  I want to make a difference that way, to make someone feel as though they're not as alone as they think they may be.  To find some sort of comfort in escaping the realms of reality for a short while of drawing.

Or am I being too idealistic?

Besides the case, unfortunately I have a long ways to go to get my Master's in this degree (which the AATA requires).  By the end of next Fall I should get my Associate's.  Then plan on working my ass off to get my own place and then try to go back to school.  Why can't planning be easier?  Why can't I just tell someone who asks me, "How long are you going to be in school for yet?" or "What are you going to school for?" with something simple like nursing, or computers.

Hell, more and more I think I should just become a Med Tech or something of the sort since I'm a quarter there by being a Phlebotomist.

Point being:  Do I go for my dream or do I go for what is more practical and predictable?

It's not my life so it's a no brainer....go for your dream. Arg, why can't you do both? It may take longer but at least there's money in the pocket for expenses. Arg, go for the dream. Listen to your heart. There.
