best day job for a writer/actor?

Question

I've been paid for writing and acting before, but the work comes in slowly.

I have had any work for a couple months now, and I already need help paying the rent. It totally sucks. So I need a day job.

I'd like to continue with acting and writing, so ideally would like something that's flexible enough and yet supplies a steady enough income to support a medium sized household.

I can't drive, and I get tired very easy (fall asleep standing up if I'm bored), so I'd prefer something that's difficult.

Answer 1

Have you considered a starting a small business? That way, you can decide when to work it and when not to.

I have an online/offline retail business. We sell hundreds of products and also have many well-know partner stores including Barnes and Noble, Sony Music, Office Max, Eddie Bauer and more. The nice thing about being online is that it doesn't have the huge start-up costs of traditional business.

Answer 3

Waiter......like all of the other aspiring actors and writers. If you are working the lunch crowd in a big city like NY or LA, I guarantee that you won't be bored. They will have you running around for hours.
