Anh Do began a uni degree in law - didn’t really like it, but continued studying. He also took up art classes which gave him
the creative outlet he needed. At the same time he worked at becoming a comedian. By the time he finished his law degree he had established himself as an artist and a comedian. If his passions hadn’t worked out he still would have had his law degree to fall back on. Do both is what you should do - I have a career in childcare - but writing is my passion.
