technical drawing actually can get you a well paying job, unlike figure drawing.

Am I missing something here or are you guys too stupid to actually read those numbers? Looks like above average to top tier illustrators have pretty much everyone else beat on that list except for Art Directors. It's just the sheer amount of entry level illustrators inflating the average as a whole.

So I have to spend my entire life to earn just $90,000 a year.

Good lord I've made a mistake of choosing this path.
