First things first kids. First find a way to make a living then pursue your dreams.

There are plenty of jobs out there which a young person can get without breaking the bank or borrowing heavily.

Professional welders make a good buck. You can get certified in two years or less from a trade school or community college.

It is hard work and certainly is not glamourous but it is honorable and more than pays the bills.

Once the bills are paid you will still have money left over to pay for art school or whatever your dream may be. .

A dream deferred is not a dream abandoned.

And by the way I have seen some welders work that rose to the level of art. (at least in my mind)
