I don't know whether to be an Art teacher or Architect. Which one is right for me?

I've been an artist since I was 4 years old. From doodling to cartoons to comics to still life and recently I'm really into painting. But at the side, I always felt bad that it was the only thing I'm good at. Everyone knew I was well of in art, but I felt like it wasn't enough to satisfy my parents. Not something to be extremely proud of. I've always had this guilt feeling like that. I've taken interest in Architecture because I've grown to have an interest in house layouts and modern building structures, and interior designs. I'm taking Architecture courses now in the summer, I found it interesting at first. It was challenging, and I liked thinking differently in a way where beauty lies in structures and functions, but as the course leads on, it's getting to the point where we're suppose to already know how to read such complex diagrams, and perform well in the next week. Maybe since it's a summer course, it's moving faster then I would like it to be, but still, I'm not sure whether I'm taking architecture for the right reasons. I'm not sure whether it's for the fancy career or if its a true passion. Art, I had a passion for, but seem to have lost it. I really want to get it back. I feel like would have to go through an art career or at least major to find it. I don't know if I want to be the designer a cafe restaurant or be one of the paintings in the cafe. What should I do?
