Should I move to a different country and leave my family behind?

I live in an Eastern-European country with my parents and grandparents from my mother's side. My goal is to move to the U.S.A after I finished college, and collected enough money. I want to pursue a career in art, either as an animator, or a cartoonist, or a graphic designer, or as an illustrator, etc. Plus, I understand and speak perfect English, with no trace of an accent. I also know the Pledge of Allegiance by heart. I work and study hard so I could make my dream a reality. I even pulled multiple all-nighters to study or hone my skills. My talents are wasted here and I want to put them to good use. Every teacher, mentor and friend I've had agreed with my dream and fully support it. Problem is that my family isn't supportive. They want me to stay here, get married soon, and live with them. Made worse by the fact that they're not exactly in the best of health. They have problems with their knees, backs, bones, joints, etc. On top of everything I just listen, we also live on a farm and there are animals to feed, wood to chop, a big garden to take care off, etc. I don't know what I should do. Should move out, put my skills to good use and start a new life with a family of my own? Or should I stay here, take care of family I already have, and leave my dreams in the dust? I need help.

Do not move to the U.S.A. As an American, do not do that to yourself. This country is a whole mess. :v
Like we're a 'first world' country but most people can't even make basic ends meet because this place is a corporate hellhole. Healthcare and education is a real disaster.

We're a first world country but covid is still a huge issue because of poor planning and children have been sent back to school in the middle of it. We have race wars and violent riots.

0/10 don't recommend. You're probably better off where you're at tbh.

I meant in the future. Not right now.

Eh...personally I still wouldn't do it. Like its been a corporate hellhole with poor healthcare for ages. Frankly, I've considered moving away from America (I just don't have the money to do so). But that's just me.

Gonna echo this and point out that I don't the US is gonna improve unless things radically change in the next decade... right now it just looks like they're getting worse. If your country is part of the EU, I recommend using your EU citizenship to migrate to somewhere like Germany, Netherlands or France. Although it would be more effort and you'd need to get a skills-based visa, you could also try the UK or Australia. Sorry to hear about your struggles and all the best for the future!

I mean, maybe the USA isn't the best option, as Zanny said. But, I agree that you should put your skills to good use, if that's what you want to do. There's probably a few places you could move to, once covid has run its course. But yeah, everyone should pursue their dream if they can. I'm rooting for ya, buddy.
