I've had problems with this my whole life. I do know one thing. If you don't pursue your dreams, you will always wonder if. If you have the chance, take it. Take it as soon as possible, or you may spend your life saying I will when I'm more blank. Fill it in with any excuse, and you have an unhappy person in a midlife crisis. Follow your bliss. You will rather look back when you are older and say, hey I tried my dreams, I made the attempt and learned and had the time of my life, than say I got by day to day and made a decent living. Life is too short to put off dreams if you have the chance to fulfill them now. Eff the economy. Yeah, it makes it harder, but so much more worth it. If you have something you believe in, do it and don't look back.
