So my degree was in drama and film, I wanted to be a teacher but didn't want to do an education degree so picked 2 subjects I enjoyed and then did a PGCE in primary education. I started working as a teacher and HATED it, I lasted 6 months and had a nervous breakdown so I had to rethink my career. I picked the parts of teaching I did like, working with young people, talking to them, helping them, helping people reach their goals and decided to retrain as a careers advisor. I have worked in careers for 3 years and it is comfortable, I don't hate my job but I don't love it. 2 years ago i started in masters in film because I wanted to study again, I missed studying. I did it for a year and then took a break to have a baby. I recently tried to go back to study but the uni has closed their film department so I have left with a PG cert instead.

I am now stuck with a dilemma. Do I do a masters in careers which my boss wants me to do or do I find a new film masters, I have no idea what career that could lead to but I just love studying it. I love talking about comedy and films but I'm scared how it has no direction. I can't decide between comfortable and stable or directionless but something I enjoy? Is there such a thing as a career you are passionate about? What do I want to be when I grow up? Since wanting to be a teacher I've never wanted to be anything else, what do you do when the thing you thought you'd enjoy turned out to be shit?
