You're welcome It's so true that there's more room to be now. In most ways it's easier to pursue a creative profession now. There are so many directions you can go. You just have to find ways to keep pace with technology and use it to your advantage.
I truly believe that following any creative career path is like "boot camp for the soul". It just forces you to deal with so many internal and external challenges. I wouldn't trade it for anything though because if you can make it through the confidence building stage without becoming too traumatized then you can accomplish almost anything.
