Someone once asked, "Is it possible to turn stone into water? Is it a myth? Or is it a reality?"?

A duel is where two people fight to the death with swords or guns to settle a gentlemen's dispute. You can't make a living doing that! (Sorry - couldn't resist it!) I presume you mean dual - alongside type of job?

As you say, the most paid work that the vast majority of actors ever get is 2 or 3 weeks a year, so you absolutely must have enough skills and qualifications to get an 'ordinary' job so you can afford to pay your rent, bills, travel, food, etc. Most of the actors I know have free-lance jobs which they do self-employed, so it leaves them free to take time off for the occasional acting job, rehearsals, auditions, etc. Working for an employer means that you'll just keep getting fired! They have such jobs as eBay traders, aromatherapists, proof-readers, children’s entertainers, photographers, copy-editors, writers, website designers, hairdressers, chiropodists, drama teachers, singing teachers, cartographers, jewellery-makers, ceramics workers, researchers, kids’ tutors, dance instructors, personal trainers, etc. Get that sorted out before you go to drama school. Good luck!

Music/acting teacher (offer lessons for $$) -waitressing (actually requires a lot of acting skill!) -tour guiding! (definitely requires acting skill!).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
