I think there's a problem with a lot of people with unrealistic expectations that they want only that too and are disinterested in the journey to get there. Maybe you have to start by helping out at the local TV station with production work. Then someone leaves and you get the chance to write boring scripts for local TV commercials. Oh wait, there's a job as an assistant writer on a B-movie and your friend at the TV station knows the director and might can get you an interview. You're building credits and experience up now. Are you likely to make Hollywood, still no. But you have more of a chance and in theory you are actually employed the entire time.
I'm speculating because I know nothing about that industry and how it works, obviously. The point being a think a lot go spend a bunch of money on school and when they are done it's like, "hey I finished when do I get assigned my Marvel movie?" When there is an opportunity at a small studio in Georgia, it's "ew no, didn't you see I went to Fancy University of Arts I'm a Hollywood writer I could never work in Georgia."
