As someone focused on creating Games for a living, there is a lot of art in my life. Art in the code, art in the design, and art...art. Spriting, mostly, but I've also done 3D modeling as well. Going to be focused mostly on coding, as I'm a programmer, but Design is where my heart lies.

Sort of. I'd like to go into advertising.

Noooooooo way. Art is more of an obsessive hobby of mine. I doodle a lot and do crafts, but I don't upload to dA very often because I'm not eager to share.

I actually plan on being an English teacher, whether that means to foreign language-speaking people or writing/grammar/literature/spelling to English speakers.

I am pretty realistic. I do not think I'd ever be able to have a career off of my art. Also, it's not that easy to build your way up to the point of being a professional artist who gets paid enough money to feed however many mouths they have to satisfy.

TL;DR : No.

Yes, and I'm doing it, and I'm very thankful for it.

Me as an artist or writer will never be a realistic goal. Not even commissions. But I do like doing it regardless of how shitty it comes out.

I'm going to work in a lab... I mainly want to work in Haematology research and junk

fun fun!

I'm lucky enough to already be able to make a living off art. Currently a rigging artist in the games industry. Doesn't require much in terms of "drawing", but it does require the eye at least.

I'm halfway through my 3rd year of studying to become an animator with an emphasis in Traditional 2D and Character Design.

...And for a hobby, novel-writing.
