wow, that is SHITTY advice!!! dude you're going to have your career for the rest of your life, why would you commit to something that you're not 100% into. and you're a junior in college!!! around 20yrs old? you have so much time to figure out what you want to do. oh, and 98% of entertainment jobs you dont have to go to school for.

I'm an aspiring editor, yes, i look at my friends who are fresh out of UofM making 66 out of the gate, and my art school was for whatever reason more expensive and i've spend 2 years struggling with bills. but i just finished my 2nd commercial as a freelance, and i'm working at one of the biggest post houses in the business. it's crazy to think just a year ago i was sleeping on a friends couch and riding my bike 13 miles to work.

The way i see it, if you're doing something that you have a passion for the money will come. and it will. Im a PA at a post house and i make close to 40 a year, the assistants do better then that plus benefits. a decent editor will make around 30g's per spot if you're going into commercial that is. think about it, 2 weeks of work.

dude, money isn't happiness, do something you love.

sorry about the rant, i know it was sloppy, but i'm really passionate about work/life/pursuit of happiness kind of stuff
