I am 24 yrs old and have a mortgage in the u.k. I left school at 16 to join the Royal Navy, obtained a degree in marine engineering and recently left to work as a Marine Engineer at a local company. I have a fiancee and dog and must admit that i currently feel very unfufilled. All my life i have wanted to do something creative for a living and it would be a dream come true for me to one day become a big movie director, my fiancee has read some of my attempted stories and she thinks they are very good which is an opinion i can trust because she has covered screenwriting in her English Degree.
The thing is... Although i know this is what i want to do i am also fully aware that to become a huge movie director the odds must be about 100 million to one. I can't seem to justify devoting my life to this dream and as a result not progressing as best i can with my current career as an engineer. Do i persue my desire or should i just accept the position that i find myself in?
