I'm always saying that nowadays you can be whatever you want just by getting on the computer and doing your research on the internet. With a bit of common sense, putting all the bs on a side, you can find enough to become a painter, singer, trader or whatever you want.. If you are really good at digging.. it may even be for free. It's all out there now so it isn't just more talanted people being born.. we just have access to excessive knowledge. :)
