[quote=Anonymous]My sister wanted to go to film school. She went to a state school and majored in something adjacent and did a summer program at NYU. She never broke into Hollywood like her teenage dreams but has worked for 3 decades as an editor and producer, mostly for corporate projects and commercials. She now works on in-house projects for a major corporation and makes about triple what I do in my government job. I’d say the ability to preserve against long odds, deal with uncertainty and lack of stability (freelancing is tough) and be creative in finding a niche are going to be important traits. But also it’s not like it’s be Steve Spielberg or wait tables. There are a lot of lucrative jobs in the field that may not be their dreams but might be a better fit than being an accountant. Just don’t go into debt for it. School loans will limit future flexibility. [/quote]
