Actors have more opportunities than ever before to pursue their craft through feature films, television, commercials, web series, shorts, theater, and other mediums. However, the truth is that it is a highly competitive field with a low margin of sustainable and financial success. Many Actors can find fulfillment through their work but might still need to have another job to pay the bills. To be available for auditions and possible future gigs, many Actors seek flexible employment as restaurant servers, bartenders, rideshare drivers, and other similar types of positions, which generally do not provide ample financial security.
