I feel like I'm about to start a life I don't want
Post Body

I'm 18m and almost finished with my last year of high school. As of right now I'm going to be going into engineering to become an engineer of some sorts. But the problem is I'm not passionate about engineering I never have been. I don't have any interest in being an engineer besides money. But the only area of work I do feel passionate about is the movie sector, either in directing or acting, or having any part in the movie/TV making process it all just interests me so much more than anything else. But it just seems like such a hard sector to get into and make good money in. I don't take any classes that might help me besides character design/art (same class at my school). I tried taking a multimedia class a few years ago but my parents and the carrier guidance we have a school said I should drop in in favor for more academic classes to do engineering. Now I'm worried that I'm going to go through all of uni just to get a job I don't like a live a life just for money rather than what I'm passionate about. And idk if my parents would want me to do anything in the movie area. I've always shown high interest in it but it always seems like they're pushing me in the academic area. I don't want to let them down. But I want to enjoy my life. Maybe if I just sucked it up I'd learn to enjoy it. But I don't know. Just wanted to put it in here and see if anyone has any advice that could help me. Anything would be appreciated.

Follow your passion for the movie industry, even if it's challenging, but also consider discussing your aspirations with your parents to find a supportive path forward.
