How Do People Find High Paying Fun Dream Jobs?

Question

I am getting sick of jobs that are not satisfying. I have a degree and do not have a problem getting hired. The problem is when the company realizes that I'm a good sales person, they stick me in sales. I hate sales. How do I break into TV, Films those people look like they are having fun making big bucks. I read a few books, but they just leave me right where I started. I don't want to do extra work becuase they are not allowed to have any speaking lines. I checked out craigslist and most of the jobs are bogus. Acting schools don't have the answers either becuse most acting coaches are just out of work actors. How can I get lucky like Charlize Theron where somebody walks up to me and puts me in the movies?

Answer 1

Edison once said "luck is when preparation meets opportunity", and said " people pass opportunity by cause its dressed like hard work". Take from those what u will

Answer 2

Job satisfaction can be more of a reflection on you than the job itself. Did you know that a job that you hate can be a dream job to someone else? You said you hate sales, did you know that acting in films requires extraordinary sales skills? Selling your self to casting directors and producers just might be the toughest sale you'll ever make? Its true that some people are just downright "lucky", or at least the media wants you to think that. In the life of every star that has longevity, they have something more than luck. They have outstanding mentors. Success in any endeavor is the result of good advisors and mentors. There are two types of mentors. Those that promise and cannot deliver, and those that promise and if fact CAN deliver. You can find these professional mentors online. Before I had a mentor I was going no where with my film career. Three months after my mentorship, I was making more money as a film director than ever before. I even have director credits in the IMDB. A good lead for mentors that offer full satisfaction or full refunds are at: www. idealjobs101.com. Instead of saying good luck I'll say.....Good Mentor!

Answer 3

Don't give up. Keep staying focused on what you really want.

I have spa parties in my home and others. I generally sell about $250-$450 at each party with 8-10 guests. I make a 50% profit. That's $125-$225 each party. They take about 2 1/2 hours, 1/2 to set-up and then clean up and about two hours talking and demonstrating. Very casual atmosphere, doesn't feel like work at all. You can schedule as many as you want. Check out my site for more information:

Answer 4

Depends on what you can do. If you have the skills and experience, a senior Professor makes a million yen a month, which most would consider to be a good salary. However, that's pretty specific. If you have the skills and experience, you could start your own business, and the sky would literally be the limit (if you were successful). However, there are few jobs with the sole criteria of "being a gaijin". Without knowing what you can do (qualifications, experience, Japanese ability), it's impossible to say what you could realistically get a job doing.

Answer 5

If you're just starting extra work is all you are gunna get. You need to build a resume with the extra work you get. You have to start small and work your way up. Pick up a copy of Backstage and go to some of the auditions in there, they are legit auditions. Get over yourself nobody gets discovered like that, don't expect things to just happen be proactive and make things happen for yourself because no one will ever cut you a break in this business.

Answer 6

Most TV and films are shot in L.A or NYC. Do you live in either city?

If you live in a city where movies are often shot, your city may have a website through the Office of the Mayor, that lists movies being filmed shot in your city.

Maybe you would like to work on the "other side" of the film/tv world. Have you considered the "back stage" side of the industry:

In NYC the city of ny trains individuals to work behind-the scenesn in the motion picture/television industry. See below:
The city where you live may have something similar.

Answer 7

it just looks like you chose a hard goal. but its something you like. so you have to determind whether it is worth it. If not find another thing you like and start over again. Very few people actually get the job of their dreams right out of school. Many never do. So explore new possibilities and you might discover something just as fun.

Answer 8

Get discovered. Most of the time, it sounds like people were in plays and in low-budget or indie films. If you're a good actor and get into enough plays or films, someone is bound to see them and one of those people is going to be someone big or know someone big.

Also, networking helps. If you have a large network of people in the business you're seeking, the knowledge of your expertise will trickle through the people.

So basically, just meet a lot of people and be seen! Act well and often and eventually someone will discover your talents! :-)

Answer 9

Its not easy, You need to Either Run into the right person orr ask & ask around, Good luck.

Answer 10

no one can. Everyone has the job everyone else wishes they had.
