My recommendation, whatever you decide, is to become a specialist. You answered elsewhere that you thought about teaching, so for example, if you were to teach art, I would say don't generalize, like teaching art at a high school. Specialize in some niche, like the art of a specific nomadic group in prehistoric Mesopotamia, or a select group of 18th century Russian painters. When you specialize, you create demand, meaning you can charge more for your work and/or expertise.
I say this as a low paid generalist, I've spent my life jumping from this to that, working hard and long to make very little. Now I'm starting to specialize, and will in a few years be at a point where I will make more in one year than I made in 6 years, from ages 19-24. Working LESS. Knowing what I know now, I feel like a fool for how little I sold my time and energy for. But I have lots of good memories and skills now at least :)The other way to go with this is to do something you really, literally LOVE to do. As in you would do it regularly, even if you weren't being paid to do it. Maybe this is creating art for you. I would suggest if you love art (or anything else) so much, even if you don't choose it as a career, you still put time and energy into it as long as it remains fulfilling for you. You never know where it could lead you; painting for 20 years for example, is bound to make you a better painter than most.

Every job is just a job at the end of the day and not the most important thing in the world. Don't come in thinking that work is the ultimate goal of your life. Work is just a necessity to keep your existence and may others. That doesn't meant that it's bad it's just necessary.
Don't let work define you find yourself in ways beyond work.
The best career choice for myself was the Marine Corps. I served in the military and it was the most fun, rewarding, and challenging experience ever.
I would still be enlisted if I didn't get medically retired after an injury and being sexually and physically assaulted during my service. I have been compensated very well for my hardships so I can't really complain. I love America. And I would fight for it until my last breath if they ever let me go back active duty.
Great question!
