After taking some time off and thinking about the helpful responses you guys left in my other thread (
First semester of college... depressed and failing all my classes 
), I've decided to take this next semester off and give a full time job a shot. The only problem is that I want to work in the TV/film industry, and it's extremely competitive and difficult to find a job, especially a regular/permanent one, without having great connections of some sort. I've been searching through craigslist the past few weeks and applying for the few paying/interesting jobs I've seen but haven't had any success, and it really doesn't look like I'll be able to find myself a decent paying job in the industry at this point in my life... I spent parts of last year working on a bunch of independent film sets for free/low pay, and while it was fun, the only thing I really got out of it was experience and a few phone numbers that haven't been useful to me yet. I want to really advance myself in the industry but I don't feel like it can be done at this stage of my life and I'm starting to think that maybe I should go back to film school. I hated school, but at least I could learn some stuff and get myself closer to earning a degree instead of spending my time trying to get a job that I can't get. Am I being to pessimistic by thinking that I can't hack it in the industry right now? Should I even be considering school? Sorry for the rambling, I probably make no sense, but I just felt the need to talk/write and I can always trust you guys for helpful/insightful comments.
