I’m planning on studying Communication, with a design to getting a job in the media.
The problem is that I tend to piss people off; I don’t like being told what to do, and I don’t like dealing with fools, the stupid, or the perpetually clueless. Or customers. 
That means I basically have to create my own work as a freelance writer, and to be taken seriously outside the field I’m currently writing in, I need a degree…
That will prevent you from being successful in just about anything.
Hence the move into writing, where my contact with The General Public is kept to a minimum…
About moving into another fields…
The thought that come to my mind is “So how many more times do I have to suffer rejection and failure?”
Talk about “demotivated”
Not if you freelance. Talk to some freelance writers - you need to be pleasant to clients - even when they are idiots. If your assignment requires interviews, you’ll need to be pleasant to your interview subjects.
I can be pleasant to a single person, no matter how much of a n00b they may be. What I can’t do is pleasant to 30 or 50 or 100 n00bs a day anymore. Especially not when I have other things to do (ie actually running a store and keeping up with Head Office’s ever increasing avalanche of operational procedures, paperwork, and other shit to do as well.
I’ve been there- it’s crappy, and it sucks. But I’d like to share some advice with you that someone else here on the boards once shared with me when I was in the same position as you, and it made me feel a lot better about myself and my life.
Their advice was simple: Think of each job you have as a project. It doesn’t matter how you finish the project- whether you quit, get fired/made redundant, or get promoted to CEO- the thing to remember is that all of your projects will eventually end. However, while they are ongoing, as long as you’re getting paid, your project is a success. When they stop paying you, it’s time to go and find another project. Keep your spare time for what you enjoy doing.
For example, by day I am the Assistant Manager at an electronics retail store. In my spare time, I’m a Military Historian and published writer. If I could work full time doing the latter, I’d have quit my job a long time ago. As it is, I can’t, so I took the retail job to pay the bills while I do what I enjoy.
That job has subsidised a heap of stuff for my wife and I, not least holiday to the USA, a wedding, and a honeymoon (also in the USA). In that respect, my job has been a success. As a career it’s been a disaster, but I’m still feeling pretty good about things and I’m going back to uni next semester to try and get my degree and see what other options that will make available.
Good luck with whatever you do, and don’t despair- something will come along and hopefully you’ll be back on your feet in no time!
