I used to be a digital artist, and I loved it, but I've decided to switch to computer science and startups. This was an extremely difficult decision, because it is very hard to quit something you are very good at after ~8 years and start from scratch in a completely new field. It vas very tough for me, and still is. But it was also the best decision I've ever made. The amount of things I've learned and understood about myself and the world in the process is incredible, there's nothing I would trade that for. Change is hard but is definitely worth it. Also don't forget that as you get older you lose your ability to change your mind and learn new things. If you think about trying something new - don't waste time hesitating, the sooner you do that the better.
