Why do you make comics/manga?

When I was younger, I used to always draw. Like, ALWAYS. Then high school happened and it was so heavily suggested that I think about my future, etc, etc, so come the end of college I graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering, which... honestly wasn't as useful as people told me (pretty sure it's just hard times all around for "those kind" of jobs).

So I went back to drawing and ended up making a weekly webcomic. It hasn't exactly become second nature to keep on drawing like it was for me when I was younger, but I hope to make it such with the more comics I churn out.

Every now and then while I'm working on a comic for the week, I'll think of why I draw/do this in the first place and honestly, while it may be a pain at times, I just really like to draw and always have. People have told me about how not using my degree to its greatest extent is such a waste, but I think dropping something you've absolutely loved doing since you were a kid would be an even bigger waste.
