my career

[marley2000]

i finished a ba degree in performing arts this year and want to follow acting path. this of course is hard to get into. i can't afford drama school (i know theres funds/loans etc but dont want more debt) and want to start auditioning but need a job to keep the money coming in. however, i am a person who has to be in a job that i am at least slightly interested in otherwise i get very depressed. im quite interested in being a counsellor of some sort but not sure how to get into this (without doing tonnes more training) and i'd probably need shift work to fit in auditions! arrrgghhhh! any suggestions??? thanku to anyone crazy enough to answerxxx

What about a nursing assistant post in a mental health ward/unit , hospice or similar or a support worker.

Here is an example...

You can do a search for NHS posts here...

It may give you some useful experience in this field which may give you a good idea whether it is the kind of area you want to go into.
