I'm 19, from the UK, doing a film degree that I hate because most of it feels pointless. (I cannot be fucked with analysis or the history of US cinema) - but I do love making films, acting, editing. All that jazz. I'm not really sure what I want to be yet. Something creative is all I can tell.
Is it really as hard as people say to have a good income as a creative person? Is my degree entirely pointless? Should I drop out? Right now I feel like I'm sauntering through life and I want to avoid the real world by doing school shit for as long as I can. What a fucking stupid existence.
Here's a report on work coöperatives in the creative industries in the UK, US and Canada: https://web.archive.org/web/20201222201619/https://culturalworkersorganize.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Sharing-Like-We-Mean-It-Web.pdf
Might be something to think about.
