What art major makes the most money

Question

my teacher thinks i should major in art but i need to have a solid idea of what I'm going to do and how much i will make

Answer 1

The animation industry is pretty hot right now. Advertising would be my second suggestion.

Animation has alot of different areas, design for characters, props, backgrounds, all have to be done.

Storyboarding, if you enjoy doing sequential work

Background painting, and color styling - if your hot on colors

3D brings in the aspects of modeling, texture painting. lighting

This is before anything comes handy to being animated, then of course there's animating

Also more technical sided jobs like rigging, scene set up, compositing etc...

Answer 2

graphic artists often have consistent work, and the opportunities are endless...advertising, computer graphics, textile artists...don't know what they make though...

Answer 3

graphic designer....
