Chase you dreams by all means..... I just want to give you a realistic look at what happens if you are "lucky" (I am not sure even if you do get a position you are lucky) enough to get a position involved with TV.
TV writers has to put up with an enormous amount of crap, and put in a ridiculous amount of hours. Are you planning on trying to get on as staff writer? Network shows have ton of people apply for those positions, and lots of them have previous tv experience. Most likely you are thinking of trying out for a lesser known show? Even those are difficult and most Likely You wont get a writing job at first. On top of that they will be treating a new person like crap. (Oh yeah you will be getting paid next to nothing) You will get caught in a loop where you feel like you are going nowhere for years. Maybe you will get out of the loop and some do.
After awhile you likely will start using the little and I mean little free time you have to write screenplays. It will be good way to spend the time, since at first you will have no money (well unless you come with a lot of money.)
