I agree with Johnny. Bethany while you have good intentions, I can tell you that earning money now from entertainment will not help you afford to do your own thing later on. I am 22 and have my own theatre company. Three of us own it, and we put in $1000 each. We did one show and now have $500 left in the bank. We are all doing part or full time work in non-entertainment industries just so we can afford to do our second show.

If you want to earn some money for your family or for yourself (and to save it, not spend it on unnecessary things) then try getting a job in another industry. Even professionals find it hard to earn a decent income from the entertainment industry.

I hope you do find some acting work, and earn money from it, but please think about this very hard before going into it.
