h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The future tends to be a frightening thing to me. Here I sit, young, educated, loved. The whole world is supposed to be my oyster and I am totally paralyzed. What do I do? Do I persue further education and a nice 9 to 5 carreer complete with health plan, security, boredom? Or do I toss that all to the wind (or at least put it off till a later date) pick up and move to LA and persue a career in the film industry? No, not as a starving actress but a costume designer. There is nothing like working long hours under high stress, dealing with "the talent" and never knowing where (or even when) your next job will be. But the payoffs seem greater, succeding against all odds, seeing your work on the silver screen, making connections and living in the city...sigh...maybe I'll figure it out eventually.
