Question
Hi Wanda, I am 18 years old and love acting. but when it comes as a career its definitely up there. My question to you is: what if you are considering something else as a career but have some doubts in terms of reality of acting?

Answer
Hey Chrissy....

Just wondering if you could help me understand a little more.   Are you saying that you love acting and that you are not sure if it is a good idea for a career?  

If that is what you are saying, I think it is really important that you take acting and you research acting as a career.  Talk to someone who has chosen it for a career.  Get a really good taste of it.  Then make a choice to do it or move on to something else.

The wonderful thing about acting is that you can have another job or career besides it and still act.  It may take some time to get some substantial roles and a steady income from it.  So it is a good idea to have something else usually for anyone.  

Does that help you?
