Military sounds like a fun career depending on where they put you at.

For me, probably some place in either helping people therapy wise or doing something in entertainment. I guess I still could try for either now still but a lot less experience time now to get there 😅

I would be another server living in LA who followed my dream to be an actor but then found out that everyone is down there and they are all schmoozing and hustling so hard but 99.999% of them fail and end up in some dead end job instead of acting like they wished for.

With you bachelor's degree, you are half way there. All you need is a master's degree in journalism. Which takes just one year or two years at the most. And I really don't see your age as a problem.

You are probably letting people tell you things that aren't true.

30 is still young in terms of career and there is no age limit in education.

Of course unless you are working in fashion modelling which is an ageist industry.

Most people that will tell a 30 year that they are too old to be in school are also failures who are talking from a beaten down position so I don't know why people listen to them.

@Smoothing That's true, I could apply for a master's degree in journalism. I just can't do it now because I have no money for that and it would ruin my plans.

Well, I also think that 30 is still young in terms of career, but everybody around me tells me that it's old. Also, I've seen many internships adds and they didn't want people who are over 25.

That's true, that industry is ageist and also shallow.

You might be right, I should listen to them.
