Does the bear poo in the woods?

You really think this 'profession' is so easy to come by in israel, or that you can earn anywhere enough for a living by it?...lol, no and no.

There are many books in Israel, actually we write and translate more books per human, than in other "civilized" countries.

No, I thought of it as an additional option. You could do really fine job.

And still somehow manage to remain utterly uncivilized, eh?
Besides, what percentage of said books you imagine needs original illustrations? That's right, not a lot at all, and whatever they do need goes to the ancient illustrators with their well-placed connections.

Many are uncivilized indeed, blame education at home and school. Beside this point. There are others and some people among them though that like those books.

Actually I think that there are many books that need to be illustrated. And the competition is uneasy indeed, probably. (did not check it myself.)

I hope that, when you choose your profession nobody told you, nor you believed it's going to be easy. I never said it was easy too, but you never succeed if you don't try.

Anyways, I did not mean to annoy you again.

Lucky for me i didnt choose illustration as my profession, i'm just slightly good at it. I'm also good at folding clothes but i dont go work at a clothes shop
And again, -what- makes you think i haven't tried. Or how would i know it's nigh-impossible. I'm not just talking out of my ass here, you know?

My parents for some reason love doing that thing where they have no effing clue about a subject but they suddenly think "Hey! I have an idea! I don't know anything about this subject and i didnt bother to research, but let's annoy the child with it JUST BECAUSE!"
I can't say i understand that type of behavior. But i dont understand a whole lot of things.

Being an illustrator is much more interesting and cool, than folding clothes.

Well, I am sorry I did not know you tried. It's just what people usually say about this type of a profession - that it's very difficult to step into, so I thought you speak of it, like me, because you heard it was such.
You could have said you tried it and it did not work out, I'd understand and spare you the "parents useless talk".
I guess there is nothing much to add, I would not like to be like your annoying parents.
Take care.
