It sounds like you’ve already answered your own question, frankly.
Hollywood is not a career for everyone, and film school is NOT the same thing as actually WORKING in the industry. If you don’t like the idea of being a “male secretary” (assistant jobs are fantastic training grounds no matter where you work) then you’re not going to like the idea of getting home from work at 9-10pm with three scripts to read before you get to bed, while worrying about early morning calls to Europe and late evening calls to Asia. You’re also not going to like the idea of having a 5-6am call time to report to a set to rig lights and run power cables all day long, or doing the same job while living out of a motel room at a random location shoot.
The friends of mine who are most happy and successful in Hollywood are the ones who were making their own small films in school, writing for their school’s literary magazine, acting/producing community theater and public access television, etc. The people with the 4.0 GPAs and 1600 SATs were generally the first to bomb out and leave.
Again, it’s not for everyone, and that’s fine.
