My seventh grade daughter is going to begin a job-shadowing program this spring, but she doesn't yet know what she wants to "be when she grows up." She has a natural talent for drawing, and she's wonderful with little kids, so she thought perhaps an art teacher. But she wants to keep her options open, as well. She wants a career that's going to make her salary worth the time, money, and energy that she'll be putting into college, and she's heard that teachers don't really make that much money.
Can anyone give me some ideas of art careers and what they consist of? Any web sites would be helpful, too, that she could go to for a free assessment on her talents and passions. Thanks!

Flash animation advertisements, Flash animation in gaming design, and Internet Web design. Interior, landscaping, and architecture are all big money, too..

Illustrators, for books, book jackets, etc.
For text books, advertising, medical pamphlets, perhaps even newspapers.
I am sure that there is a great calling for good artists--and the pay can't be too shabby.
She could minor in writing in college, and perhaps write and illustrate children's books.
