<prompt> Human: Ive been wanting to voice act since my junior year of highschool but my mom kept telling me to go to college and get my degree which makes sense. I went into communications and was extremely unhappy so recently i changed my major to theatre to work toward my goal. The only thing is im still unhappy. I have no motivation for school at all even though i feel this obligation that i should be doing. Now luckily because of the pel grant, and my adoption etc im going pretty much for free, in fact the school gives me money at the end of each semester around 1,800 meaning i have zero debt. I feel like i should be going because i have the opportunity to go but im not happy. The biggest obstacle however is if i leave i lose my adoption health insurance and my mom loses the money she gets from my adoption which she needs and these are the two big things she keeps bringing up plus she doesnt want me to move to LA or Dallas to work and would much rather me stay close. If i were to go on her health inssurance theres no way shed be able to afford it because her current jobs health inssurance is complete garbage. Her at age 57 and a software engineer doesnt think she can find a job at her age, which i dont find to be true but im inexperienced in the working world and have no idea. I just dont know what to do at this point. I want to work full time and begin saving up to take acting classes, my school only has acting 1 and i already took it... and i can already begin to audition for projects online because i have all the equipment. I guess my question is do i drop out, and risk the health insurrance dissapearance or stay in school untill im 24 to get a degree that wont gaurantee me a well paying job at all. My thought was also i could save up so just in case i struggle int he future i could get myself certified in something but thats worst case scenario.  <response>: In my opinion a degree in theater is a waste of money and time.Stay in school, but only if you also consider getting a degree that hopefully will be useful for something if voice acting doesnt work out.
