I'm seventeen and I've lost faith in my dream. I have always loved film and always believed to have some sort of gift in what I love. I've always desired to become a film director, but see my dream drifting from me. My dad wants me to be a lawyer or politician because I'm good at public speeking, I'm good at debating and I have a love for english. I have found a good degree at UTS that combines the studies of law and media and believe this is my route. However, I lack comittment and believe that 95% UAI is a crazy figure to reach. I know I can get close but still have my doubts. The dilema that I'm facing is the fact that I'm too lazy, too optomistic in my approach to everything I do and "want to be famous". But the more I think about my situation, the more I feel discouraged, and therefore believe the dream of becoming a famous director is not what I want. Please help me.

It's easier to get into show biz as a lawyer than with a filmmaking degree!
And if you're lazy, don't be a director. They work 14 hour days 7 days a week for a year on end.

Make sure your following your dream because of passion and desire, not illusions of grandeur. Understand how many people want to become filmmakers and how many Steven Spielberg's there are. You can always enroll in school, and have an undecided major, try taking a few different classes into filmography, you might end up enjoying it more, or deciding that's not the path you want to take(wow that was a long run-on sentence). Also look into your financial dreams and desires, there's a very slim chance you can make a great living directing movies. Also when enrolled in college look into different acting/drama/film clubs. Again you might find the more you spend time involved in filming, the more you enjoy it. But you might also find its not what you imagined it to be.

sounds to me this is more a case of you not knowing what you want to be, rather than being lazy.
I used to be very 'lazy', always chopping and changing my mind. I failed at school, and college and uni i didn't go to.
I am now 24 and decided computers and web design was for me. I should have finished, but then i did set myself an unrealistic target. Now i am being realistic, i am learning more than i have ever done and i can actually sit still long enough to learn 4 chapters a day.
Trust me i am the thickest person ever...if i can do it, so can you.
take some time to think about this.
If this is the case, don't worry, loads of people can't decide what to do until they are in their 30's.
Good luck either way

In some techniques, life may be like a topic matter park: it has its united statesand downs, like a curler coaster, and you need extra help, that's why you have family with you.
