work because I like to, not because I have to

I’m going to a local university next year because it has a good art program. I want to be an animator but I am not sure if I’ll get a job after I graduate. I like drawing and I’ve made flash animations before and I enjoy doing that. My dad says that I’ll be broke if I’m an art major, so he wants me to be a computer programmer or a technician. I am not sure how I can animate to make money. I know I am not gonna work for those 3d movie making companies like pixar or dreamworks. They’re so good. Oh well, I’ll get my BFA and hope for the best.
