How would you know which field you are interested in?

Sometimes its best to keep all your options open, rather than choose one straight away, if one doesn't work out then you have others to fall back on. If you concentrate on just one field and spend all your time in it and it doesn't work you have nothing to fall back on, kinda like putting all your eggs in one basket. Try to be versatile.

Hi trinityDownPour. Your situation very much ressembles mine. Though my professors did not explicitly mention that I lack passion in what I study. But unfortunately I do not know where my passion lies. It is only those areas where I am not interested I can figure out. I think life is too short to check out all the possibilities, so it is better to take the safe route and try to make some time to pursue personal interests. Anyways have a nice day... -SuperShames-

trinitydownpour if you love illustration go for it as no your lecturer is full of prunes. an illustrator or artist can have a full life besides his a rt. in fa ct a good artist has to have a well rounded life to have ideas on what he or she wants to illustrate or paint.Illustrating can be a job and you go home from that job to do fun things in your time off.Your lecturer has given you the wrong picture and no you are not lazy just because you want a life after work. ou know what field you are interested because this is you and you are the one who has to take the courses and no one else.

You should take a course that you see yourself being happy and enthusiastic about it even after 20 years. It should become your passion, otherwise, you will be just wasting your time, energy and money for a worthless course.

hi trinity. i think you got a different notion about "interest". if you are interested in something, it does not mean that you devote all your time and attention to it. you could also be interested in more than one field. and with regard to your teacher, no one knows what you like more than yourself. nobody's going to tell you that you are interested in one thing and not interested in another. you should know that yourself. if your teacher tells you otherwise, then don't mind him/her. i say, pursue your interest in illustration and have fun doing it.

Hi, Trinity I'd guess your professor is trying to get you to think about your choices more; He/she is giving you a chance to decide how you really feel about your area, and choose how you respond to the challenges. You don't need to be manically obsessed with your specialization - no one would be very well-rounded if they were. Take some time to decide how you feel about illustration, but also how you feel about life in general. Try to experience new things that'll inspire that passion to express them in your art - if you're not living life, what inspires you to create? Anyway, don't tear yourself up trying to figure this out. Some things need to happen a little at a time... just try a new thing now and then - a new food, a performance, or heck, play dress-up. Feed your soul. Good luck with things :)

If you're interested at illustration/art then go for it. If your teacher said that you don't have any passion, then why not show that teacher that you really like it and you will devote yourself to it. However, playing games, reading, watching tv, etc. are our pastimes. No one can say that we're lazy by doing those things. When we get bored, it's better to do something else first. Check yourself if you are really interested in illustration/art. It will be your source of income in the future. Goodluck.

What the lecturer is doing is to encourage you put in more effort; perhaps the just realize there much in which can be accessed for your better performance.

Hi :) If you feel happy in what you do then i guess that is where your passion lies. I may be wrong. I have interest in animation as well as softwares. But now i am also into literature writing poems

you should never let anybody dictates you in whatever field you wanted ot take. It should be your own choice. As you may regret following other's decision. You can try attending career orientation or interview people from different fields as you may gain interest with some of them. But if not, take illustration as it is what your heart desires.

I think it's nice to have other interests in case one doesn't work out, but I don't know about this teacher's expectations. You might want to show your work to some people in the field and ask them about your prospects. I don't think you need to devote yourself solely to one interest though...

I like chatting with others,especially the jokes,someone like me?

I am a computer science graduate, but I am a teacher. Teaching is the last profession I have in mind. Never have I thought when I was young that I will become a teacher by profession. They have this idea during my time that when you don't excel well in the class you will end up teaching. So, never in my life have I thought that I will end up as a teacher, computer science specifically programmer is very far end in teaching. But look at me now, where am I now, and who I am now. I have been teaching for 25years already and I still find the fire and passion on it. So in my mind i thought .. hmmm.. maybe I was born a teacher.

Better try to find out by your feelings or try to contact anyone who've some knowledge about these things. I too am confused on these.....

Hi. in my opinion, if you want to do something very much,and even if you are tired you want to keep doing it or while you do it you neglect anything else.This something is your interest. May you success.

Maybe sometimes we just need to persevere. It is true however that whatever you do, you must have passion in it and you like what you are doing. That is somehow important but if one would persevere one should attain a good work too. Have a nice day!
