I'm currently attending a University in Kansas. It's a great university and I'm majoring in creative writing. I also want to minor in film production but that isn't an option here and I'm disappointed because writing and film are my dual passions. I checked with my advisor and the only thing she could offer me was a few courses that are similar to my field (mostly theatre).
Now my other issue is that there are no opportunities for internships, career paths, or even part-time jobs in my field anywhere near me. I've even looked for online writing and freelance writing but it's hard to find positions like that and still receive a solid income.
The worst but safer and cheaper option is to finish my next year and 1 semester at the university I'm attending. This means I will be working the same part-time jobs and won't enhance my skills/resume professionally (unless you count blogging). Another option I have is to transfer to a University in a bigger city with more opportunities and pay out of state tuition. I can, of course, get scholarships if I work my butt off this spring semester, I could find more options for part-time jobs. Still, it would be more expensive and more of an adjustment to move halfway across the country no matter which direction I go.
I'm sorry for the long post. I just have no one to talk to that will give me advice tailored to my situation. I appreciate whoever takes the time to read and answer this. Thank you.
