B7ddyB0y's journey

I recently received a job offer that has me feeling both excited and uncertain. Two years ago, I graduated with a degree in Digital Arts and Entertainment from Howest. After spending over a year searching for a job in the movie sector, I decided to go back to school for applied architecture. During that year, I worked as a student, taught Dutch to non-native speakers, and took on small film gigs, which were often underpaid or unpaid. Now, I've completed my first year in architecture with good grades, and I'm really enjoying it because it allows for creativity and offers more job security. However, a fellow student, for whom I did a free gig, recommended me to a company looking for a VFX artist. They are an editing house that wants to start handling their own VFX in-house instead of outsourcing. Although I have little experience, they are eager to hire me. I'm torn between taking this opportunity and continuing my studies. I love working on films, but I'm worried about potentially facing the same job insecurity I did before. My current studies also provide a creative outlet and a more stable career path. The job offer is for a six-month trial, after which I could be offered a permanent position. I'm seeking some outside perspective on whether I should seize this opportunity or focus on my education.
