Should I give up on a career in theatre?

I’ve always loved performing since I was a little kid. I used to do show choir from first to sixth grade at a local church, I took piano and vocal lessons. I played in a couple of little shows my homeschool put on. Not a lot of opportunities especially as a homeschool kid. I moved to a different state six years ago and once Covid passed I joined my school’s theatre productions. I absolutely loved performing in the productions, but my director didn’t like me (that’s a story for another day lol) so I didn’t get many opportunities like she gave other kids. I graduated last year and I had to move out in the country so it’s pretty far from any community theaters. Ever since I was a kid I’ve always dreamed of being a performer. I decided to take a year off of school to work and I’m not sure what to do now. I would love to go to a performing arts school but I’m not sure if it’s worth it or if I can turn it into a career. Can someone give me advice?
