What is it like being an artist? Is there a secure paycheck and how do you become one?

I guess I don't really know how becoming an artist that makes art for a living works. Do you just submit things to art shows and hope it sells?

How do I know if what I choose to be, is what I actually want to do, and not regret it?

If I choose a certain career path but I decide it’s not for me, am I able to change? I don’t really know what I want to do yet, and I don’t want to spend a lot of time and effort into one thing, but then end up regretting it. How do I know a certain career path is what I want to do?

I am a 50 year old former chef/owner in the Food&Beverage industry, and released from prison incarceration nearly a year ago. I'm planning a career change very soon, and am currently exploring the best options with several criteria being considered. First, my age and certain barriers that would limit success. Next, having been previously incarcerated on a charge considered "violent"(assault 2), I am aware that many tech jobs which may require certain clearance measures and various other security related requirements would also be an issue. Last, though I consider myself flexible, a quick learner in most cases, and of above average intelligence, the last time I recall participating in any formal education was nearly 35 years ago, and not at a university or even certificate level. While a career in tech interests me, specifically UX design, Digital Marketing, and even Tech/Software Sales, I happen to also be very interested in Behavioral Health (adolecent addiction counseling). Given my background and considerable barriers, I am interested in several opinions as to what realistic opportunities there are in the career paths I have mentioned. In particular, what do hiring project managers look for exactly for an entry level UX researcher Will age or longevity be a concern? Is there more opportunity in Marketing, working remotely or beginning my own private agency? As a youth counselor a concern I have is, though my ambition and intent working with children and families, to repair or mitigate problems brought on by substance abuse, I hope to find overwhelming satisfaction both personally, as well as professionally. However, I am curious to know just how many felt as I do, prior to working daily with the actual individuals and families suffering. Are there statistics which suggest the number of new counselors who in their first or second year, decide the daily resposibility and fact that often many more are lost than a success may simply be too much to handle, and resign in attempt to preserve their own sanity? I realize the question asked, resulted in many and I apologize. Whatever insight offered however will be greatly appreciated as I try and whittle the options down to hopefully the career path most suitable. Thank you, Patrick

As a 50 year old male, I am embarking on obtainining relevent skills to begin a new career path. I was recently incarcerated and along with my age, and fact I have little experience in any of the above mentioned career choices, I am seeking insight as to which path I may find the least...

I'm currently in high school, but I have an interest in Psychology right now and I am wondering what it would entail if I want to pursue that in University and after that?

I enjoy the psychology class I am in right now and I like the idea of pursuing something in that area but I am not sure what to really do now. I should probably take a psychology class at University but I don't know what else there is and how to look at using that for my future.
Thanks!

How to pick what you want to do a PhD in?

How soon should I know what I want to do as a PhD? Right now I am a second year sophomore with no previous research experience though I hope to gain some over the course of the fall and spring semester of this upcoming year.

is it a good idea to go on foreign exchange during a gap year even if it doesn’t directly relate to my career path?

I want to go on exchange to maybe learn a language and experience more cultures, but as much as I want to, I am unsure if it is a good idea. I would like to go into music after high school so would taking a gap year set me back?
