Feeling like my job is holding me back from what I want to do. Need advice.

I’m in the process of learning how to video edit. It’s the first thing I’ve actually found that I want to make into a career. However I still have a day job that I feel like is holding me back.

Home doesn’t go to work. Why then the expectation and acceptance that work comes home?

The career and job as a lifestyle thing…what even are we doing? Home doesn't show up at work. I'm ready for work to stop showing up at home.
