Well, after reading your blog, I want to reassure you that you don't really have much to worry about.

Sounds to me like you've already accomplished much more at 21 than a lot of folks have at twice your age. Now, sounds like you already have a really good degree, and any further medical training that you put on top of that will only make you more valuable in the market place.

Now, you say that you have a nagging to go to film school, but you're concerned about the risks. Well, here is the good news. Your existing degree that you have right now provides you with a perfect fall back plan, should film school ambitions not prove to be successful. Personally, I feel that the reason why so many film school grads struggle, is because that is their only degree. They don't have another educational skill set to fall back on, so when their film ambitions fail, they essentially have no cushion.

In your case, you already have a great cushion. Your pharmacy degree may actually be your gateway to be able to pursue film school, because unlike all those other film school grads that are hoping and praying that they are able to make something with their degree, you'll already have a degree with confirmed monetary value, just in case.

Now, my personal advice to you is this. Finish the neonatal training. Expand your educational resume that much more. Then try out film school. With the education that you already have, and the earning power that comes with it, you could go to film school part time and still be safe in your bank account with what you would earn working.

If you do decide to go into the film industry, you can do it with the peace of mind of knowing that come what may, you won't go hungry, because you already have a back up.

Anyway, hope this helps to put your mind at ease a bit. Best of luck in whatever you should decide to do.
