In Reply To: If you want to sell clothes, the choice is easy. If you want to break into TV, you have to make the sacrifice. Most of us did. It hurts, for sure. But there's really no other way. Sorry...I lived on grilled cheese sandwiches for two years before I started making more than $10k a year.
Message: will begin narrowing much sooner than you think, if you decide quick money is more important than a career doing something you think you'd enjoy. That's ok. But if you take the instant gratification, each day will take you away from tv news/production. You can have both; I've been in 6 figures since the 80's doing something I love, but I started out making barely enough to live. But not once did I regret that decision, and I know LOTS of people who now wish they'd been willing to make the early sacrifice.
