I have had a calling and I decided I want to do film instead of engineering, I loathe engineering and I find that it is not for me, i'm willing to work blood, sweat, tears and at starbucks if i have to but i'm going to do film no matter what, I have a desire i need to fulfill or it will torment me.

I feel sorry for my parents and i am ashamed i won't fullfill the success and money my parents have accomplished I don't know how to explain to them that filmmaking isn't the glamor you see on TV/Hollywood and that I might actually end up working at McDonald's and nightshifts as part time (coming from a middle class family I feel like I need to be more successful than my parents so even I can support their retirement). I really want them to retire early as I am concerned for their health. But I don't know if i can do that asap. What will I expect as a film student and graduate? what jobs can i get with this degree? can i expect moderate success in the future?

pls help!

  1. sure...money is great but if you don't like what you do..what is the point !

    You can do just fine..and maybe even better then fine if you have a degree in film..or anything...

    I have yet to get the degree for one reason..procrastination.. as the 90's Nike slogan went  " JUST DO IT ! "
