Day Jobs
Going from a red carpet one night to behind a bar the next day can be painful for us to handle. It confuses our mind and skews our perception of who we are and the progress we have made. But remember - 90% of actors in SAG-AFTRA don't make their insurance each year. That means 90% of actors are not earning over 20k per year. Most actors need additional income. So lets talk day jobs, passive income streams, and money in general.
^^ PLEASE USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION ABOVE! ^^
Type any question you have about acting, and you'll find the answer you need provided by experts, educators, working actors, and/or SAG-AFTRA board members working in the industry today.
Please email [email protected] with any question that has not been answered and we will add the answer ASAP.
