So, Ive been out of college a few years and have been pursuing acting, but of course its a thing that takes time and hardwork, and luck. And, i'll be starting my first full time job, because i couldnt find something part time.

Ive done internships while in school, but Im terrfied, that doing this job will take me further away from my dream.
Working at a desk for my LIFE scares me and makes me feel sooooo sad and trapped. I couldn't say no to the job, because its a distant family member who works at the company and who is good friends with my mom. So, i couldn't say no.

I know i should be grateful, because of the job i got and the people at the company seem super nice and were so nice when I met them, considering not alot of professional job experience was on my resume despite going to a great school.

Im just scared me dreams are ending. I know again, thats dramatic, and i can still go after my dreams.But, im just so confused and scared.

    It doesn't mean you can't continue working towards your ultimate dream of becoming an actor/actress.

    Life is like a motorway/freeway you have your dream at the end of that road but occasionally you need to take an off ramp to refuel. See this as an off ramp and know that you will eventually get back onto the motorway.

    You must realize that at some point, most people support their dreams with a full time job.
    So this isn't the end of your dreams, just the realistic way to achieve them.
    Settle into the job and learn the ropes. Perhaps you'll see a way to get more time for your dreams and spend less time paying for them.

    Just because you're starting a job doesn't mean it will be your career. Think of it optimistically: it's a stepping stone to help you save money in order for you to go to auditions and travel certain distances for acting jobs. :)
