Honest question, is 24 too old to pursue dreams of becoming an actress? I know I’d have to quit my job and likely move to LA but I’m so unhappy and this is the one thing I’ve always wanted to do.

She’s getting paid for that though! Good for her!

It’s never too late to follow your dream. Make sure you have emergency funds on hand before quitting. However, I suggest to wait for few months when production will pick up. Good luck 💫

Save enough for a year’s living expenses, then give it a shot. If it doesn’t work, come back to the same/one step lower job. We’re at a place where we can take that risk.

Follow your dreams!! It’s only to late to chase what you love, when you’re lying on your death bed.

Do you have acting experience already? What makes you think a career change makes sense?

Whenever I have to put slides together, I doubt myself a million times and it takes too long to make a single slide. I know I have Impostor Syndrome and depression, and the longer it takes to put a slide together, the harder it is to get it done. It’s like I have a phobia for doing the work, but it’s my job as a consultant 😔 I think I fear getting it wrong, but I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this and how they have coped? Thanks, in advance 🙏🏻

About a year ago I picked up a job as an EA with $18 the hour. I had no experience but over time my boss has made me pick up more work to deal with this company’s disorganization. I tried negotiating my $ but no.

I love being an EA but not here.

I am doing nothing related to my film degree in NYC. Ideally, I’d love to be a EA in the Tv/Media field, knowing I have a lot to give. Pains me.

Any advice as a Noob? I am really trying to balance making ends meet and a good work environment.

We create targets for ourselves, then race to chase them down. Be it for a better career, money or a much higher standard of living. But I guess our youth pays a price for it. Not sure if this us just me or does anyone else resonates with this. For everything that I wanted to have and do have now, I feel just very hollow.

I moved back in with my parents in August, and my mom and stepfather have demanded monthly rent. They are in no way poor at this moment in time, and in my opinion it’s f*cked up to demand your child pay rent. I bought a VR headset a couple weeks back and my mom increased the rent because “I can afford it.” Is this normal? I honestly feel used. Fwiw I’ve worked since I was 13, and hustled my entire life.

My current role started out as a way to increase my skills, but for the past year the majority of what I’ve done is transcribing data between systems, which is one of the things I’m very bad at. My brain switches letters/numbers. With some recent changes, all other responsibilities were removed. I had a good reputation in the company before this, but now every day I feel like a failure because I keep making mistakes.
