Half family pressures me into being rich, but of course being rich isnt a problem it's the fact that they want me to get a job that is just generally high paying. I really just wanna write (or maybe something else if I change my mind). I dont know if I wanna be a journalist or creative writer but I fear my family will be disappointed in me, I love them but they have issues too.
Don't look at it as either/or. Get the training you need for the high-paying job. Get the high-paying job. Write on the side. If the writing pays off, you can transition to writing full-time.
Being broke with a family to support is more stressful than having a job you don't like but that pays all the bills.
