Graphic design? Digital illustration?I am an intp who is trying to figure out a direction in which to go career-wise.
I am math impaired which excludes me from many good intp careers. I graduated from art school four years ago and like working with my hands as well as executing my own ideas. I would like to study the history of the decorative arts but I think I need to give more consideration to making a living.
I am also worried about the idea of going into education. I love academia but I am actually idealistic about it and have watched too many idealistic educators in my family get frustrated. Also I may be too introverted.

Graphic design? Digital illustration?
I know this isn't usually the case for intps but I have no special talent with computers.
What do you like learning about?I know this isn't usually the case for intps but I have no special talent with computers.
What do you like to do for fun?
I hate math and aside from entertainment purposes I'm not too into computers either.
In an art is veeeery important that you study what you reaallly really want.
Yeah its passion, if you have a passion and you see walls on your way, destroy them (too introverted gibbity gibbily, making a living, frustation, etc) if you have not passion, better go goobely doo and hurt people around until you find it.

I like learning about many things but especially crafts. I learn a craft, get to a point of competency, and get distracted by another craft. I want to know as many as possible especially of those involving string, as if, when I know them all there will be an overriding truth which unites them. I enjoy the process of learning a process, learning how a material behaves, and getting my hands accustomed to the action.
For fun I read classic fiction as well as non-fiction, often about natural science. I garden (in summer), cook and bake, watch movies, I love mold making and slip casting but lack the facilities, and the rest of what I do would be classified as art or fiber craft.

Perhaps it's because I am intp but I have always hated the word "passion" and the expectation that artists are full of it. I don't have passion about my art. I follow my fascination.
Well, perhaps, i dont know a precise traduction for that word, but yeah its likeee "im not studying filmmaking for nothing more than the passion to send a message with a strong meaning in every channel off possible comunnication", its the motivation outside the "art-itself" but that can only reached throught that art, if you craft for the sake of crafting, youre a crafter.Perhaps it's because I am intp but I have always hated the word "passion" and the expectation that artists are full of it.

What did you major in when you went to art school the first time around?
Also academia and education are not always the same thing.

Well if you're a crafter who likes to experiment, you should start your own business.
You probably wont make much money unless you're business-savvy but you should be able to survive and do what you love. Seems great to me.

I majored in ceramic sculpture.
Hmm I think that learning about tons of different crafts seems like a entertaining career but I don't know how to make money out of it unfortunately lol.I like learning about many things but especially crafts.

You could become a plaster caster and sell your work on ebay.
