These quizzes will not predict your actual future job. http://quiz.myyearbook.com/zenhex/quiz.php?id=29390 http://similarminds.com/career.html Advice for Acting by Jane 1. (The most important rule everrr) Always have fun no matter what. You don't have to struggle just to be big. 2. Learn to be professional and learn to take rejection. Me, I'm a cancer >_> I'm pretty sensitive but these kinda things we all have to learn to do. When someone critizes your acting or what you do, don't take it as something to look down upon. Listen to what they have to say--they could be right and it could be something you can work on. 3. Stage fright: This is completely normal. Sometimes I get stage fright as well. Well...have you ever watched Hannah Montana? Ever seen the episode where she's warming up? And she goes Ang Ang Ang Ang like a dog? xD Well always try to lossen up and relax before performing. It calms the nerves and let's you focus. 4. Breathe. Probably the most important rule. If you ever feel like you're forgetting a line, take a deep breath. If you can't remember your line just continue to act the emotion. 5. Practice. There are many actors/actresses out there. Many your friends and you can have a little fun and act out a movie. You guys will be practicing and sharpening your skills when you don't even know it! 6. Be a social butterfly. Actors have very outgoing personalities, so why not you? Try talking to people more, start conversations (even with your friends!) don't be afraid to smile. This will definately boost your confidence and break through the shy barrier. You should never give up. If you get rejected, try again! (= Trust me. That's just 1 of the 70 auditions that you will get turned down. The other 69 are up to you. Advice for the photographers Submitted by Arjuna Capulong To photographers out there: If you're planning to be a photographer as your future career, you'd have an advantage if you start some kind of small business early, like now, or whenever you think you're ready (as soon as possible, however). You can then start building your reputation as a photographer, while getting the gist of running a business. It's a pretty good experience, overall. ALSO! Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about barbizon or anything of the above. There's still more to come... |

Hmm...computer/technology. I think my uncle used to deal with a similar job, but he was a technician. Well, what grade are you in they might have a computer class in high school.

The future Paula Zahn/Anderson Cooper/Peter Jennings is right here.
edit: Maybe a plastic surgeon? That'd be a pretty sweet job. Reconstructive & cosmetic. |

If you keep at it you can continue to model for the rest of your life. Well, I've had some training in modeling at Barbizon Modeling school. If you'd like you can ask me about it. It's a pretty good school and teaches you a lot about all of that modeling stuff.

Nah. I have an account at explore talent. It's actually pretty good, a bit costy but if you can get your parents to pay cough up a few bucks for a few months then it's all worth it. It gives you the best open calls.

You should add www.monster.com. It helps you get your resume[which you can upload or monster will help you build one] noticed by employers. I posted mine like a week and a half to two weeks ago and I got 2 calls for interviews in the past 3 days which I think was pretty fast, although they weren't the kinda places I'd wanna work at.
As for a career, I'd like to get into Photography and MAYBE filmmaking. I'm gonna try to get into computer graphics too. |
