Of course you want to be a writer!! But do you realize how risky it is to break into writing full time, and to make money at it?
You should definitely get an education in something that you like; if it's not being an accountant, by NO MEANS go to school for that!! You will be miserable...& your mom will just have to realize that you are your own person, not hers!!
Figure out what you want to do with your life, or 'your day job' as the saying goes; you can always work at your love of writing during your offtime; and believe me, a steady paycheck will keep you from fretting and fussing over money.....life's too short for that!!
If you are college material, get into college....if you are not,as many people are not, then go to a local jr. College or that type of institution...BUT, do get an education in something YOU LIKE...then, when you get up every morning to go into whatever it is you've chosen, you will look forward to your day instead of hating and dreading it!
Trust me, I speak from experience..I am now retired, and can look back on my working years as ones where I enjoyed what I did!!.....and it makes retirement time just another part of your lovely life!! Instead of being something you are 'counting the days' and looking forward to....as some people I know have done....now that's NO WAY to live...
Enjoy your work or profession every day...then when it's time to retire, and believe me it comes sooner than you think!!! You will have just one more nice experience to enjoy!!
Sorry to be so long....I tend to do this on here!! But I wanted to give you all my thoughts on this very important subject!!
Good luck...OH you can also use vocational guidance with astrology to help you decide on your best career/profession...don't laugh....I did it and it just confirmed what I had in mind all the time...BUT if you are undecided, it will point out your strenghths and weaknesses and give you strong indicators as to what field you should get involved in...Just use a search engine, DUCKDUCKGO.COM is a good one, they DO NOT track your searches like Google does.....and enter ...'astrology vocational guidance'....there are tons of reputable sites that can help you and many will email the report right to you...for a few dollars, you can get some expert advice and guidance!!
Again, sorry for rambling on so, but GOOD LUCK and follow your heart!!!
