ART...
Go into the arts. I'm not kidding.The arts are not a way to make livivng. They are very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing art, no mater how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven's sake. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reword. You will have created something.
Kurt Vonnegut.
