The Lost Passion
So, how are things going for me?

I think its interesting that the things in high school you were passionate about and proud of aren't things you pursued in college. Ive never been into theater at all and even I think set design sounds pretty interesting. Maybe its the builder in me. In any case, not the path you went in college, and nothing to do about it now. Which should be more liberating than depressing.
Whether or not you did much film work you're pleased with, you did learn what it takes on a technical and personal level to work in the industry. Its possible all you learned is that film isnt something you want to do. Thats fine, if anything thats good. Theres no shortage of work in this world that require a degree, regardless of what it is or is in, and you've got that. Actually, thats what my father keeps constantly telling me so I'll go get a job where I make "real money." I'm just saying it to illustrate that you're not limited by your degree. Being happy is more important than income to me, which might be why I can't pay my bills but it sure makes it easier to get up in the morning.
In any case, its not possible for everything to pass you by unless you live on a trust fund and never leave the house. There will probably be times significantly worse than this and other times plenty better, whether you take some chances or not. I also recently had the, "Wow, my college portfolio sucks," moment so I know how big a setback that feels like. But its just a setback. When you figure out what you've enjoyed doing, why you enjoyed it, and go for those things in the future you'll be alright.
