school rant actual date 2011 but lj is lame
so i'm 30, back in school. 3 credits left before i graduate from university. i am super glad im almost done but now im not sure what i want to do. ive been working in the industry i want for a while now but the problem is pay... there isnt any or when i do get paid it is really not a lot. so... what to do now??!
i feel that school is very important to a better future. the dilemma... do i attempt to go to a very expensive very well recognized school in vancouver in which i learn to get paid for my art..(we hope) or perhaps do i take a more money orientated career choice and go to a school close to home that would give me a job in a sort of office type environment?
i feel that a job in the arts is boss but the down side is that i could get myself in a lot of debt and i still might not make any money
the other option is better pay, regular hours, helping people and it would make my mother happy.
ok so the mother happy thing is nice but .. shit.. its my life i have to live it.
i honestly want the arts job, i want that school, i want the stress that film and tv or theatre brings. its a good thing. its difficult but its worth it. i also cant afford the school.
i have been interested in the other regular job but im not in love....
i guess i will wait and see what the new schools tell me about the regular job thing and go from there.
