Is there even a point?

I’m in your exact situation. I am myself very passionate about film and really cannot pinpoint anything else that I would want to do that I could really see myself doing in the long run. Sure I have my interests in other things, but film is what I really want to pursue. Don’t choose something you know you’ll regret and won’t enjoy. There’s so much more enrichment when you have a career and job that you actually love doing. You said it yourself… it’s what you want to do so badly, so do it.

It’s all about doing what you enjoy and are passionate about. If you have the passion, the drive, and the attitude, you WILL get somewhere one day. Sure, film isn’t the easiest industry to get into, but if you love it then you won’t mind how hard it’ll be or how much it’ll take. Just remember, the school you go to won’t determine how far you get, it’s ultimately up to you to decide how far you go. And who knows, you may find interest in other things as you progress through school. Life is full of surprises so be ready and open for anything that comes your way. You still have ample time, but it’s good that you’re planning ahead :).
