I didn't know where else to put this.
I'm scared I'll have to give up my dream in order to get a 40 hour work week job that I'll more than likely hate just to make ends meet. I get that everybody does it, but that's the thing, I don't want to be like everybody else. I already know what I want to do, reviews. Video Games and Movies to be precise. I've been self employed for a year now through my blog that I had since 2011. Google AdSense provided a rather generous form of revenue for a while. I was halfway to my first paycheck, and then they suspended me for 'reasons,' and every single alternative I found since then has been crap by comparison.
I tried searching for jobs more in my field, but they all have one thing in common. They want their employees to report on gaming news, too. I have no interest in doing that. The one and only job I had like that was something I utterly despised. The only thing I want to do are my reviews. I honestly can't imagine myself doing anything else. It's my passion, but I'm starting to feel like I'm not going to be able to support myself that way, and it scares me. I feel like I'm just prolonging the inevitable. I know my parents aren't going to be around forever and I can't expect other people to take care of me. It's not fair to them. Even then, I'm still not willing to make the shift.
I don't know what to do.
