Can art be a lucrative job?
Is anybody doing art for living (graphics designer, etc)?

Graphic artist and freelance work.

Like most creative jobs, do it because you want to and you love it. You can make a decent living, but be prepared to work very, very hard. Of all the artists and designers I know, I would call only a very lucky handful anything NEAR rich.

If you want money, get a suit job.

I find art, not just drawing but music as well, to be a life style, not a career choice. Not for me at least.

Where does "roof over you head, aircondition/heating, internet, and not dying of easy to treat medical conditions" fall under?

No
And that's one of the reasons I changed my major.

If I had to do it all over again I'd probably try illustration, though. I had a drawing professor that told me that I should illustrate children's books.

If you're employed full-time by a company that isn't completely crap, you should be able to get by with the essentials. Health insurance/medical expenses, well, don't sever your ties with your folks.

If you're purely freelance, and have the whole range of skills (networking, reliability, art skills, speed, self-discipline, etc) with a bit of luck and hard work you can do very well for yourself. On the other hand, you might want to take that crappy guaranteed part time job to be safe, and I've seen competent freelancers take crappy jobs because there is zero work on the ground. Personally, I prefer job security.

It can be a very rewarding industry, just not always in terms of money. :)

Yeah, I changed my major because I decided I'd just draw for fun and on the side, while focusing on something else to support myself.

Still debating on what I should major in though. I like computers and I suppose I'd be interested in how their insides work and programs (I'm not that good at coding language though).
