taboo

i have a question for you guys...i'd like to know if others here are in a simmilar situation. i'm 25 and living at home with my peeps. my work is in arts and entertainment, and it's a tough field to have constant work in. Everything is contract work most of the time--meaning, it's very difficult to become financially independant to the point that I can say that I can fend for myself in teh real world ect. Now granted, I can get any job as a secretary, waitress whatver to pay the bills if I wanted, but I've been lucky enough to have parents that really support me in my work and believe i can go very far with it. It's been getting prograssivley better, but still. I don;t want to be a weight for them, and I want to become self-sufficient. Thing is, I'm sacrificing the boring job that will bring in money and stable work, for my real career and passion. Anyone in the same situation? What kills me is the uncertainty of the entire situation.
