The cliché Practicality vs. Passion

tl;dr: maging alipin ng corporate night shift setup or i-risk ang pagiging freelancer at maging apprentice ng isang local film director?

kaka-graduate ko lang and i've been a working student since early this year. pangarap ko talagang maging filmmaker dahil doon talaga inclined yung interests ko at feeling ko mag eexcel naman ako doon.

yung work ko naman ngayon ay sa isang graphic design BPO company. US working hours so ngaragan talaga sa night shift. okay naman ang pasahod since BPO nga. wfh din kaya medyo convenient, di na need umalis alis ng bahay.

now, naiisip ko nang mag-resign kahit 6 months pa lang ako kasi parang susuko na yung katawang lupa ko. i gained so much weight, i look a lot older than i did last year, and i feel like my health is deteriorating. di ko na yata matatagalan.

then may opportunity na dumating sakin to be a local film director's apprentice. syempre, freelance yon at project-based so mababa lang ang sahod at hindi sya consistent. pero iniisip ko, maganda syang investment career-wise dahil medyo kilalang direktor ito sa local film scene. sa industriya kasi namin, connections are gold. ittrain daw ako to be an assistant director. and if that time comes, medyo malaki na yung sahod than being a production assistant.

ang dilemma ko ngayon ay, kung ipagpapatuloy ko bang magpa-alipin sa corporate setup or i-risk ko itong pagiging director's apprentice?

sa estado naman ng pamilya ko ngayon, mas gumaan syempre yung buhay namin since nakakapag bigay ako sa nanay ko. may trabaho rin naman sya at kaka-promote lang sa kanya. pero syempre, pag nawala yung work ko na consistent na malaki ang sweldo, medyo mahihirapan kami ulit at mapipilay sa gastusin. ang iniisip ko lang as a panganay, may privilege ba tayo para ipursue ang passion natin kahit medyo hindi naman tayo ganon ka-well off sa buhay?? nahihirapan talaga akong mag-desisyon. gusto ko malaman thoughts nyo please. salamat.
