Jenna Fischer (of the Office) and her tenacity are a strong model to follow:

Highlights:

  1. Opportunity Meets Readiness
  2. Swallow your pride and take every performance opportunity you can
  3. This business is not fair, but DO NOT give up
  4. Don't stop your personal life for your career
  5. There will always be scumbags who try to bring you down. Ignore them. Surround yourself with positive, supportive people.
  6. Slow and steady wins the job!
A reminder that everyone gets bummed out by their jobs once and a while


Highlights
  1. Own the downside of being an actor/dancer
  2. Develop effective methods of coping
  3. Actually ride the ups and downs (we have a more extreme and constant form of the career rollercoaster in the performing arts field)
  4. Above all else, resist the urge to quit
