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.
I got a college certificate in a creative (but still technical) field. While it didn't land me a job in the same field (not even close) it did help me build my resume and land a pretty awesome career in a totally unrelated (but still technical) field. So no, your degree isn't pointless, and if you love it then stick with it if it makes you happy.
In film school or any art school, it is best to have both a creative angle and a technical skill
