careers in crafting

[volleyball21gurl]

Anyone have any ideas of careers in crafts? I would love to sell my crafts as a business, but that seems like a tough business to get into. I'm only a sophomore in high school, so I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with my life! I still want to go to college so what should I get a degree in if I love all types of crafting? I would love to make crafting my career but I have no idea where to start or what I would do! Any help would be awesome!
