A friend's daughter graduated from the music conservatory with a bachelor's degree and started a tutoring class at home, teaching children to play the guzheng. This is a very niche market with a small audience. She was not convinced and struggled for ten years, finally closing down. The tens of thousands her parents supported her with are gone, and she still owes hundreds of thousands in credit card and online loans. A buddy of mine loves calligraphy. He has a master's degree in law but started a calligraphy training class. He participates in competitions and calligraphy exhibitions everywhere every year, often winning awards, but it’s all useless. He couldn’t escape the fate of bankruptcy, achieved nothing, and is heavily in debt. In his 40s, he finally turned over a new leaf, returned to his original profession, and became a lawyer. Those who do painting or art design are even worse. They look like they have flowing hair and an immortal aura, but they are actually extremely poor. In the end, they all have to change careers. If you want to learn art, be very cautious. #GateLaunchpadIMU
