Future as an artist?

Heyy,

I´m pretty new to this website, so I just wanna state that I´m getting to know it and haven´t been doing great figuring things out yet. Anyway,I wanted to ask art-loving people here what you want to do after school? I need advise! I was thinking of learning animation and working in that field, but i just can NOT animate. Could I still go to a school to learn and become an apprentice, or do I really need a bit of common knowledge? I mean, do the animations need to look proper? Or can it be like the average begginer Flip a Clip animation?

Second idea was to do an ápprenticeship´to become an illustrator, but payment would be irregular I fear, and I don´t want to end up homeless. I thought of graphic design, but that just doesn´t seem like something I´d be good at

The issue is, I really can´t do anything other than art. I guess I like literature, too, but my grades are horrid. Sooo, what possibly could I do? Just wanted to hear opinions that aren´t from Google.

Anyway, thanks a bunch beforehand!
