I'm Em.
I'm a 20 year old English/History student living in Sydney.
I dig art, music and books.
I'll take questions on relationships, friendships, high school, uni, or whatever else.
I try to give the best advice I can, usually drawing on my own personal experience. But I'm not perfect, and sometimes when I look back on some of my advice it's far from it (especially when I was 15 and writing LiKe THiS). It's just advice, though. It's not an answer or a solution, it's simply a potentially helpful perspective. And that's all I can offer you.

what qualifications from school do i need to become an advice columnist? (link)

Are you talking about a magazine/newspaper advice columnist?
To have your own column in a online or published magazine or newspaper, technically you don't need any qualifications. BUT, a degree in the Bachelor of Media and Communications or the Bachelor of Arts (majoring in English/literature studies) would be very beneficiary. Media and Communications is more relatable to journalists, which would be far more applicable to a career as a columnist, but having a Bachelor of Arts degree in English/literature studies would also help (particularly because it teaches linguistics which is the study of the human language to help with editing and proof-reading, and also has creative writing units).
Sometimes with advice columns, depending on what you're giving advice on, some form of credentials will probably be needed. In the magazine I used to buy in my younger years, a doctor had an advice column related to love/life/body.. etc. So, depending on what you want to give advice on, you may need a degree in medicine/psychiatry, or possibly a doctorate.
If you want to start up your own website, no qualifications!

I know I want to do something in art when I go to university next year but I don't know what to study.
I feel like I can't really make much money from doing something in the art industry but.
What makes a lot of money in art as a career?
Thanks (link)

Well it depends what your strenghts are as an artist.
If your good at painting then you could make your own but it depends how many people want them. Theres alot of struggling painters, so if you wanted to make it big, maybe try like an ad somewhere in a newspaper or you could ask museums if they have anyone who would want to comission an artwork.
if your better at drawing, then you could try graphic design, making like the advertisements you see on billboards or in magazines.
The thing about being able to draw helps in alot of industries like say fashion desigining or as an architect, so research some careers like these that you might be interested in as art is a big part of it as well.
Teaching art is one career that doesn't pay the most or best but there will always be jobs for teachers and so you don't have to worry about a bad week with no work or getting fired for no particular reason.
Theres just so many options for people who want their career to involve or be art, you just need to think outside the box to other things.
If you google "career quiz" you can find sites with a short quiz that determine what you'd be good at and what would suit you. Even if you've set your mind on what you want to do, its nice to have a choice. It comes up with what your best at like i'm best at creative stuff so it has all these jobs that incorporate drawing and things like that so i thought it would be good for you to check out.
Sorry i couldn't be more of a help.
