Calling all film course students

I just finished spm and for the longest time I've always been interested in film, but all of my family around me keep on reminding me that the industry is not very good in Malaysia. Is it true? Will there still be job opportunities for me? if so, what's the salary like? I'm not too fixated on the salary, I just want to do what I love but I also want to survive. which unis are the best for this course? should I choose another course?
