always do what you enjoy.

Go for it - there are some times when you just have to follow your instincts and do what you really love. I was 22 when I made a massive change after university - moved from England to Korea and somehow ended up becoming an esports photographer (and a teacher) I like teaching, but (esports) photography has become my real passion (totally unexpectedly) - you have to just let go of anything you feel is tying you down and (with consideration of course) at least try to achieve your goals and make your life a happier one.

Do not get into a career you do not love. My dad was in college to be an accountant then he was like fuck this I'm gonna do programming. He started his own company, and even though it fell apart he had fun. Then with all his experience he easily got a good job at apple. I think the reason he did so well was because he liked what he was doing and tried hard.

Hey, you are only 20. You have plenty of time to pursue the things you enjoy, look for opportunities in art that you can apply your law skills to.

These days people don't do one career for their entire life. They switch jobs, companies, are always continually learning new things, etc. These days you have to be flexible. Just because you graduate with a degree doesn't necessarily mean you will be in that field in 10 or even 5 years. Just always look for opportunities, make connections, and do what interests you.

What I'm saying is NEVER have that attitude that "its too late". Always be flexible, adaptable, and fast. I know a 40 year old who was in community college with be studying to become an engineer. Recently there was a 50 or 60 year old in one of my undergrad physics classes. These people have the right attitude and just go for what they want to do.
