Just Graduated College.. now what?
Just graduated this past May and I’ve been job searching ever since. I’m currently unemployed but I’ve been seriously considering a career in film. I love film and I’ve always wanted to direct and inspire others. Problem is, I’m really scared. Long hours, little/no pay, extremely competitive. I doubt my ability and feel like i may just fall flat on my face. I feel pressured to go the practical/safe route and get a respectable steady job. And to top it off, i have a girlfriend i’d eventually like to marry who i want to support a family with. A career in film requires lots of travel, no steady income, and no guarantee of success. Am i the only one to feel this but… if i didnt have family i could be free to pursue anything i want without anyone judging/pressuring me?

Well there is alway the local market. First, that’s generally an entry level unless you really want to be a Universal STudios Tour Guide or work the Prop Room for Minimum wage.
The best way in is to find a position at a local TV station or ad agency.
Then work your way up. If you have 2 years Writer-Producer in the Documentary area of local television you can generally apply for studio jobs at places like Disney.
That’s what they want a BA degree and 2 years local TV Writer/Producer.

So, you want permission from us to get rid of your family? You want to make a documentary about that process? If you just spent four years in college, why can’t you communicate better? This is a therapy statement, this is not a I’m qualified, what problems can I solve for you?” statement. People hire people to solve problems, not to create them.
Try rehearsing this phrase: “Do you want fries with that?”
You have not presented us with any credentials that indicate you know diddly about making films. If you met someone with influence and means in that field, how would you persuade him to hire you?
I’m sorry to seem harsh here, but if I were in that position, you would not get past my scheduler.

You need a real job. Maybe you could do some film work on the side or something?
