nothing. if you get into teaching you can start teaching. working around town and places in theatres, but you dont necessarily need a degree to do that. a BA/BA is usually required to run one of these theatres, and i dont mean stage manager wise. i went into this field and am also doing computer science. a friend of mine has a BA in theatre and she cant really do anything with it. my advice, find something to add onto it like i did. otherwise youre going to be making minimum wage the rest of your life. but hey, whatever makes you happy!

You can wait tables. To be seriously considered for a job that doesn't involve tepid, gray dishwater, or a pushbroom, you need a B.A. in something, which means more school for you...in something other than theater. I'm not trying to be elitist or condescending. You can minor in theater and still get the sort of training/stage experience that you need, but you need a Bachelors degree in something as a fallback option so you have some way of supporting yourself while you're going to auditions.

You can teach - and there are various opportunities like community theater programs, after-school children's programs. You can teach in public schools- in most states (I think) if you are emergency certified - meaning you are working on getting a teaching certificate. You can also run community theaters. You may have to relocate. You may also be able to work in broadcasting since it is a crossover field. This is a tough field if you want to make the big bucks! You will work hard, but if you love it, that is worth it. Can't take it with you when you die, anyway! Good luck!

An associate's won't get you much. you need a BA/BS for an employer to look at you. you know the joke though, right? What did the Theatre/English/Music major say to the Engineering/Comp Sci/Business major? "You want fries with that?"

You *might* be able to... but your best bet is probably to get further training
