Oh man... this whole university application thing is completely killing my brain right now. It's the idea of my parents that I shouldn't pursue a career in film at all. The reasons they have are because it's going to be expensive, that it should only be a hobby, that it's going to be hard to find a job in film and that all people in the film industry are druggies. So... instead they want me to go into psychology.
Now... a month or two ago, I had a similar talk with my uncles, cousin and brother. They actually all told me not to get into psychology at all. The things my mom said about film, was applied to what they said about psychology. Since I'd have to be a psychiatrist, I'd have to go through 10 years of school and then actually finding work is harder than finding work in a career of film and television. They also said that I should do what I like doing because I have a better chance to get a job and do what I like.
So now I'm stuck between following what I want to do, and actually apply to film or do something that I'm being forced to do by my parents. Maybe it's because they're hardcore asians or something... but to me film isn't a hobby. I hope they change their minds.
