Now, I don't want to work until 3AM five nights a week and want to be able enough money to do things like buy my own house (and not live with 2 other dudes) and support a future (hypothetical) family.

The creative industry will not give this to you. It simply will not. I laughed out loud when I read this.

You want stability and reasonable work hours... from the film industry. You're specifically considering two areas of study that have been controlled by the bullshit gig economy before that was even a term. If you actually decide to pursue this your bartending job will be more reliable so don't quit it!

You don't need a degree to run a camera or be a lighting guy at concerts. Of all the ideas presented in your post, the lighting technician idea is the best one.

Didn't you make a thread at one point asking about becoming a nurse? That is a good idea. You have an interest in health. Do THAT.
Then use your stable nurse income to buy a fancy camera as a hobby.
