Is a career as a paralegal a good day job for actors?
Hi! I recently just graduated from NYU Tisch and have my B.F.A in Drama. After graduating, I decided to move back home and focus on building a solid foundation for my acting career. Part of being an actor is finding a good day job and I am tired of working in restaurants, so I did some research on obtaining a Paralegal certificate. From my research, I found that becoming a paralegal can provide great financial stability which is something that is very important however, I'm not sure if I would be able to balance being a paralegal and an actor. I would really like some advice if this is a good career path and if not could you some great day jobs for actors.
