Recommendations about following your dream job?

I'm currently studying in college and pursuing my dream job. I haven't been on the course for long, but it is starting to worry me about what I am to do after studying. There's plenty of different job roles in the industry, but in the industry itself jobs are scarce, I've seen posts from people with decades of experience get turned down from entry level roles in the same job I'm hoping to pursue, and the career path doesn't really translate to many other jobs maybe outside of general programming jobs, but this line of work seems pretty closed off. Anyways, I don't know what to do in terms of study and career, I'd love to get my dream job in the industry I want to work in, but what am I going to do if it all falls through? At the same time, if i didn't pursue my dream job, I don't want to be locked into a barely livable wage and be unhappy with my career. Just looking for advice, thanks.
