"Yet in the end that will consume me; I will become a lawyer, and not an artist, a tragic loss."

This reminds me of a theme in Arthur C. Clarke's book Childhood's End: "Humankind enters a golden age of prosperity at the expense of creativity" (Wikipedia; other commentators have a similar analysis.)

Then I think about the adage to direct your energies to where your heart is.
