Today in film class, our professor gave the professionalization lecture in which she held our collective hands and confirmed the stark reality of how difficult it is to make a living in the industry. Really, most of the things she said weren't surprising or shocking. It's just scary to hear especially when you're one quarter away from finishing

Take that chance, do it while you are young. That's what one of my theatre arts teachers told me, and I didn't listen (not that I'm not happy with my current track). I really feel that you should give it a shot - having some backup plans are a good thing, but you should go for it. I don't know the detals of your plans/life goals, but one of the things that I would do differently with my life is take those chances that I was too afraid to make. Maybe I'd end up in the same place I am now, or maybe I'd crash and burn - but at least I would know that I took a chance and said, here is what I love.

I don't know if I'm helping or harming :)
