What are you majoring in? |

That feeling hits me with physics and related areas. I'd act on it. I'm 28 and have been somewhat lazy about it. Don't make the same mistake. |

I've had that many times. Learning to sing, joining a band, taking dance classes, becoming a psychiatrist, moving to a different country. Of course, aching to make out with my crush, but that's another thing. It suddenly stops being an interest and becomes a death sentence. You can almost hear the tic-tac. |

Saying quantum physics explains cognitive processes is just like saying geology explains jurisprudence.
My dream was to become a Secret Service Agent or some sort of government spy, but I don't think I could ever give my freedom up to a government that still doesn't have fully just laws. Especially considering that, in order to work my way up there, I'd have to work in law enforcement and put druggies away. Problem is, part of me still wants to go down that path. |

Surrender your flesh. We demand it.
I want to be a writer and director, but the only real reason I didn't get into it is practicality. I don't want to be one of those "starving artists" that ends up waiting tables a block from Grauman's Chinese Theatre until I'm 50. |

I say go for it, but get all the information you can upfront. You want to be realistic in your goals as well. Starting out you are never going to be directing a major movie. Through maybe you end up coming out of school, becoming an intern for a while, then directing a commercial, then with time you finally become a director of a big movie. Or maybe you do a low budget one and make nothing for it, but it gives you experience which helps you later. |
|
Well, why don't you try writing first..? It's not as if you have to take a leap out of a career, just try it in your spare time. |
|
Elis, go for it! Most jobs suck. That one doesn't. Follow your passion because it leads to the careers that make you the happiest. If you go to film school, you can help make all kinds of videos and very possibly low budget movies while you keep trying to get big movies made. If you have ability, that is not an unrealistic path to take. |

How do you know you are not dreaming right now?
Go for it. Do you know anyone that could find you a short internship to check this out more in-depth? |

I felt the same way about music when I started getting into Frank Zappa's stuff, and 2 years later I feel all the more serious about it. I'm starting to realize I was just denying my own nature arguing against it. |
|
just keep your "9-5" and practice on your aspirations/passions on the side, you really can't argue with that kind of advice. |
|
naturals are what we call people who did all the right things accidentally
Why not keep up with the major you've got and make films on the side? Do it for a year, make 3-5 films and see how it feels. If your really into it, change your major, but if you want to make films you gotta do the work yourself. No class is gonna show you how. |

157 is a prime number. The next prime is 163 and the previous prime is 151, which with 157 form a sexy prime triplet. Taking the arithmetic mean of those primes yields 157, thus it is a balanced prime.
