This thread sounds better-suited to E/N than BFC.

it's simply bringing joy to peoples lives.

Do you mean the goat herders you save from IEDs? That sounds a lot more worthwhile than acting, IMO. Do that one.

If you fuckup they own your rear end until the contract is over and send you into the dreaded "unassigned" bucket.

My father-in-law was conned into attempting the nuclear engineering track in the Navy. He washed out and spent the rest of his contract doing the worst poo poo no one ever wanted to do. So, don't do that.

This is completely different, the OP has done very well in Math and Science in high school, which totally means something other than that you have a pulse. The sky's the limit for him my friend, he can be a nuke or an EOD or an actor as long as he just dedicates himself 100%!!!

Because high school math is 100% predictive of nuclear engineering capability?

Regardless of how dumb it is, there's no better time than to follow a dream than now and it sucks having people actively encourage you away from something like that. You've done the best you can when you give them all relevant information, and let them run along on their merry little way into a dumb direction until it doesn't work.

That's true. The worst that will happen is the OP will try to be an actor, work as a barista, get tired of being poor, and go to school for something real. Hopefully, they won't have a ton of student debt from the acting thing.
