I've always encountered people who are envious of the fact that I get to do what I love - art- AND make a living at it. It's hard for non-creative people, I'm sure, to accept that a person can actually enjoy life without adhering to some strict set of "success" rules. I had three separate art shows last night. I made money and I worked for it. I consider that "successful."
Closing thread. Generally in this forum we talk about colleges and not politics. Many posters seem more than willing to make this into a Democrat vs. Republican issue. Not going to happen.
