feel down about my goals

Lately I find myself feeling lousy about my goals and dreams. I really want to have a career in writing. I want to be a copywriter, a critic and a creative author. I currently have 2 freelancing jobs: one with a car company in California, the other doing content writing for a wellness magazine. It dosent pay a lot, $20 for every 12 articles I write. But it’s experience and not the be all end all, just a stepping stone towards my career. I also may be getting a third and fourth job. Yet my boyfriend thinks I can’t live on this job and I know that. I’m trying to find another job that could help to supplement my income while I work towards being a copywriter, but he keeps saying I should work in retail, but that doesn’t really pay much plus the hours are terrible. I want to find a job where I can have decent hours and a good pay. I also worry because people think my job is a scam because I have to get paid via check because my bank routing number will not work. I know they aren’t a scam because I looked them up and they are legit. Not I feel like a fool for wanting to follow my dreams.
