Don't know what to do with my life. I'm sick of the movie business and Los Angeles is killing me. I don't want to give up on my dreams, but I hate my job and it's not bringing me any closer to anything I want to do. Ultimately, I'd like to be a filmmaker and teach film at a university. I have a Master of Film & Television and I love the academic environment. I don't want to wash out of the industry and be a quitter, but I can't take much more of this job and I can't take much more of L.A.
So, should I...
- Stay in L.A. and tough it out. It can only get better.
- Go back to school in the U.S. and get a PhD or another Master's degree, then look for a faculty position.
- Go back to school in Australia, where I was happy while getting my first Master's degree, and look for a faculty appointment there, and live with hardly ever seeing my family again.
- Teach English in China, Thailand, or Korea, then come back and try again in the movie business. Maybe all I need is a vacation.
What do y'all think?

In fact, a vacation will just show me how UNhappy I really am.
