Why do I feel like I have to have my whole future figured out right now?
I feel stressed and pressured because it seems like everyone expects me to know exactly what I want to do after high school. I’m not sure about my future yet, and I want advice on how to deal with this pressure without feeling overwhelmed or lost.
Why do I feel so pressured to know what my plan is after I graduate high school?
I am currently a sophomore in high school, and whenever I think about what I want to do after I graduate, it always stresses me out. Right now, I am interested in becoming a dental hygienist, but that idea could change at any time. A lot of people say it is normal to change your path, and to be unsure. However, I still feel like it isn't normal to have this unsure, nervous feeling. Is there anything I can to do help me calm my nerves?
How do you handle the tight deadlines and high pressures of being a character animator?
Hello there! I'm a soon to be college freshmen for character animation, and I've always been fascinated by the animation industry as a whole, especially the behind scenes part of the animation industry. I've seen many a documentary on the ins and outs of working on big name films and characters, but it seems like for a lot of the higher end studios, they place incredibly tight deadlines and guidelines for their animators. How do you manage to create a good work life balance with the pressures of the studios deadlines?
Passion or money?
Just from the question itself many people would have chosen passion. However, my question to that is at what point do you realize that something is your passion? Do you grow attached to the subject? What if what you’re passionate about can’t be done because of expenses, then what? When I say money what I really mean is getting it over with. “It” being school, college, education. Would you rather spend a majority of your time and money into a major that guarantees a happy wallet but not a happy mind? Or spend the exact same amount into a happy mind, but not a happy wallet? Passion is important, yes. But at the end of the day there are bills and expenses that need to be covered. There are parents that want to see you grow financially. There are jobs that won’t give you vacation and if you do, well since competition is high, your job is practically lost. I may seem in over my head but these pressures as to which route to take or to find middle ground has been haunting me for as long as I can remember. #education #college #undecided #pressure
