Hey guys...I know you can´t make decisions for me, but I would like to ask for advice.
I currently live at my parent´s. I found it to be effective. There are spare rooms and I use very little of their resources.
I´m preparing to be an artist, went all-in since the beginning of 2019, have already all the canvases and materials, hired models, booked an atelier to work from and also some work to show etc. etc.
Currently applying to local art galleries......but basically in dessert of desertion, because no sales yet. But the real value lies in there...
I went on unemployment 2 months ago, after quitting my dayjob as a waiter. I have worked full-time in logistics and in newspaper as a physical worker before and hated every single second of it. Those jobs drove me into the darkest depths of my emotions.
I make some money with freelance gigs and trading.
Now: So I was trained to be a commercial game artist, and they are inviting me to an interview for a casino company.
The revenue after taxes and living costs: ~1k€/month
The only pro: Stable revenue slightly higher than minimum wage and a job that doesnt kill me physically
That´s very little considering I could do half of it in 1/4th of the time living at my parent´s.
Cons:
Little time for developing art business(my energy levels are very low after working as well...)
Boring work and dealing with management.
If I don´t take the job, am I just spoiled?
Would love to hear the opinions of some entrepreneurial "adults". Of course everyone in my immediate environment is telling me to get a stable job, but every inch of my cells is against it(while my anti-lazy mind tells me it´s possible to keep a full-time job and work on the art business on the side, realistically probably not).
