My new career goal

Most of us has an clear idea or at least an inkling of where we want to go or what we want to accomplish with a degree. In my case, this is not the case. I have always been interested in the entertainment industry. In my country I always participated in anything to do with performing arts including singing in choirs and participating in small plays.
A friend told me why not pursuit a degree in this industry. I feel I am starting on the hole already when I look at some of my fellow classmates who are already operating in this industry. However, someone I love told me to look at the positive of it instead of the negative. I was told to take advantage of their knowledge instead of wallowing in defeat and self-pity. That's right my rear end got kicked.
Here I am today,takingon a crazy assignment. Figuring out what to do with a degree while working toward it. One thing I know for sure. This is the path I choose to follow.  Everyday I tried to research and decide my first move after graduation. Of course this would not be as nerve-wrecking if it wasn't for the repaying of the student loans. I will post as much as possible and to you out there reading my words (you are, aren't you) any word of advise will be greatly appreciated.
