I am currently NEET trying to get into art school. However I don't know if I will ever be able to find a job in the art field (and even if I do, it won't pay much) and because of autism and other stuff I don't think I would be able to get a job as a barista or similar.
My parents are not doing well financially right now and I just wish I could give them the life they deserve, the son they deserve. They put so much effort and hopes in me and all I am is just a pathetic leech. I don't know how many people love being neets. I absolutely despise it. I just want to be normal and make my parents proud.
Sorry if it's not the right imageboard but I didn't want to post this on 4chan.

Personally I would be more ashamed to be a wagie. Being a NEET means you have all the time that you are awake to dedicate to your art, I think art school is overrated, Many famous cartoonists never went to art school yet their characters are known all over the world. What kind of art do you do? painting, photography, cinematography, comic books, 🅱️ideo games?
You are by no means a leech and don't let wagie propaganda destroy your future magnum-opus.
They shouldn’t have put all their eggs in one basket.
Have you tried selling your plasma? You can make an extra $400/month pretty easily. Doesn't even feel like work tbh
You should sell your works, most of the art I bought came from independent self taught artists, mostly abstract expressionist paintings.
You can even combine painting with performance art like Mr. Kim here.

I despise humanity and never want to contribute to the abomination

success in the modern art field is basically dependent on your skill at marketing yourself. i doubt you could do this since you're autistic, but if you live in america, you could brand yourself as "neurodivergent" and get a free job. it may sound like scamming the system, but if you aren't stupid, life is about scamming the system,
I don't think you're gonna be any less of a financial burden to your parents by going to art school...
State pays anon Grundsicherung (rent and gas plus ≈450€)
If it would not I'd just had to spend my last few bucks on a good rope.

Sorry I'm replying only now. Just fought with my parents about money, so I remembered of this post
I draw but I'm not that good. I know art school is overrated but in my country there is basically no art industry so it's even more difficult to get a job.

In our country the state doesn't give you money for donating blood
Thank you anons for the advices but I don't think I'm good enough and even if I could sell something it would still not be enough. It just makes me so upset that I could have done so much more with my life but now I'm just rotting away.
