A lot of jobs have overlapping skills with art. Break everthing down (the practical details), what exacly you're good at, what you're not, what each entails and what you do and don't like about them. Then try to match those to different types of work. Also consider what traits and activities exactly you like about the jobs you want and where else you can find them. Being an artist is one of the toughest occupations you could choose so don't feel like you would be copping out if you succeed at it.
BTW I went through the same thing and ended up doing what I was good at not because I felt I didn't have a choice but because I saw a way I could use it to achieve what I'd wanted from the occupation I wasn't suited to.
Is it normal to hate being creative?
