Problem is it's a completly diffrent dynamic when you're on the verge of starting your career than when you're already experienced and employed.
Those people aren't in our shoe and they see it from a diffrent perspective because they're not experiencing it, thier 20 or 30 years of experience is of working experience not in employments or economics.
Tache ignore all the negativities and pursue your dream, I'm sure you'll achieve what you desire just like I did.
Good luck.
