For some odd reason when I start drawing I start thinking about it as a career. Then I get depressed and stop drawing. It's a never ending cycle.
The depression is likely caused by everything you've internalized over the years about art as a career. Would you be ok with drawing as just a hobby or do you feel a pull towards doing something more? It's not all or nothing either. You can always just keep focusing on drawing in your free time while holding down a job that provides you financial support.
What was your degree you're going for right now?
