how to survive as an artist in 2025?

so i’m graduating soon from art college, and i have no idea how i’m gonna work or make money. this whole ai thing makes me feel like there’s no place for me as an artist anymore. i’m working on my character design portfolio, and i know a bit of 3d in blender, but i feel so unsure of myself. i’m working a job that pays 7.49 for 6 hours, and i just feel desperate. i had one solo exhibition and two group ones, but no one bought anything, and now i feel like i have no future in traditional art.

so i need some opinions and motivation from people. i want to talk to others who feel lost in art or maybe those who have found their way, just to try and understand things better. btw, i’m from armenia.
