I have always had a passion for art and being creative. I have never been able to draw or paint in a 'creative' way so I want to learn to do more with my creativity. I plan to retire from my physically demanding job when my wife gets her RN and starts making good money so that I can make a career change and concentrate on my health. I initially plan on taking on small freelance work and maybe starting a digital and print magazine in order to teach myself more beyond what I will learn in school. Real world experience goes a lot further than just having a degree.
