I’m scared to make the move
This is my last semester of engineering. Right at the finish line after all this suffering man. I’m an average joe , I’ve had countless sleepless nights, lots of things I had to sacrifice and don’t really have friends anymore.
I’ve had decent grades but don’t have a job lined up. But I love 2 things. I love engineering and filmmaking. I’ve been filmmaking since freshman year just short films mainly sci-fi or comedy horrors.
I post them on my YouTube channel and actually found little success. My biggest film got 876k views. The rest average about 80-100k now. (Took 2 years for the algorithm to push my shit)
My childhood dream was being a filmmaker, I chose engineering because of the status / stability , and again I also do like it even though I’m not very good at it.
I have savings from my YouTube and part time job and now I’m just stuck. Idk if I keep making films or go into my career. Because if I do keep making films full time then that’s 4 years wasted basically.
I have no “big” connections on either side like others. The others who get a job at google immediately even though they have 1 internship of work experience.
Idk it’s been making me scared because I got debt too, I don’t want to make my dad disappointed either.
This is just a rant just felt good to let this out I’m up late tn thinking about it. I mean I got like 2 1/2 months left and then I have to make a decision.
