University Sucks 0.5

Thanks so much too shloopy5 for today's topic! And the reason i picked that one over a lot of other requests was the fact it got thumbed up loads. SOOOO make sure if you like an idea to thumb it up and make it happen!
LOVE YOU CHUMPS!!!! BTW today's topic is VERY difficult as it involved hundreds of different situations. I only have experience from theatre studies, So i never mentioned that a lot of careers require you to have a degree if you want to be successful. AND i never mentioned that uni was a great part of my life and i would never take it back!
DARN THESE 2 MINUTE VLOGS!!!!

[@JJtheJesika]

I love all of chris' vlogs. It's easy to watch them over and over because they never get boring.

[@Lowriad]

'you could smell weed and everyone took your milk' that completely sums up my uni experience so far. liverpool for you..

[@laura]

I kind of agree with you about the learning thing...I could have just read a few books instead of study for 4 years (I have a 4 year degree) but at the same time I've definitely changed as a person. I've just finished 2 years at uni and would never regret going because I've met amazing people, learnt to live away from home and kind of opened my eyes to things..i was in a bit of a bubble before so yeah uni has been GOOD!

[@freddielechat567]

I feel your pain about the weed smell and milk stealing. Drove me insane.

[@popsicalstickz2739]

-faints- I wish I'd shared that room with crabstickz. I live in Derby.

[@LexCroucher]

yeahh from talking to people who have jobs in film/the media/music etc, there is absolutely no point in a degree in those subjects unless you're just postponing real life/really really like education, because you could just have started work at eighteen and then by the time everyone else has finished their degrees, have had three years experience and already be working your way up in that career. so instead of taking my English degree .. I could already be a classroom assistant! waheeeey.

[@cezzie901]

I graduated 2 years ago and every job I've had since then have had nothing to do with my degree. I think I only did it (English Studies) because it was something I was good at. I never really had any idea what I wanted to do career-wise. It's taken me 2 years since graduation & a lot of 'stop-gap' jobs to make me realise what I really want to do career-wise. I'm studying to be a TEFL teacher in South America now. I'm glad I had that 2 year gap. I think it really helped. Good luck with post-uni.

[@LouiseFaiL]

I completely agree with you, university is a bad idea if you want to be an actor, its far too academic, drama school is a better option, but personally, just getting you're ass out there doing stuff to get more experience will get you the places you need to be, it's such a hard thing to talk about because it's different for everyone! I hope you do get work though. Also, when you do a uni course you dont come out with equity, if you go to drama school you get equity straight away.

[@bethanymg1]

I want to study acting when I leave high school, now you've freaked me out that it's going to be hopeless :(

[@EmilyK.91]

I properly start my 3rd year of uni next week and I'm already stressed out with dissertation work. I mean yeah it can be really stressful but I've found going to uni, moving away from home has really helped me, like now I have so much more confidence in myself, I've learned to be independent do "grown up" stuff like financing and budgeting, and I made new friends. On the other hand... I'm really not looking forward to being in debt and figuring out what it is I actually want to do...

[@GrossGore]

Students loans are silly and yeah man crabstickz good luck in life, you will make such a good actor, somethink big will come up i can feel it! XD!

[@benolephilyababe]

I went to art school right after graduating from high school, but i didn't like it, it was an endless party everyday and I just lost my motivation, then I went to another uni to study Psychology and I went insane, it was a posh uni and everyone was too busy being posh and traveling and having smartphones, it made me hate society, srsly, and now I'm finally at a uni I can actually bear being at, and I'm studying graphic design and I just love it, and it's great to see i'm not alone in this one

[@RemmyLegz]

University has changed me a lot. I've lived and am still living with an extremely abusive housemate, so it's been a lot of dealing with people and standing your ground. Also I'm a fashion student, so its very likely that I'll be unemployed! It is different from everyone, I found it tough BUT I'd recommend it to anyone, its a life experience like no other!

[@liahana434]

I am actually learning quite a lot from university. I'm in my fourth year and so far, I've been doing well but am having a serious case of senioritis. I just don't feel doing any of the work anymore and it's a constant struggle to get started on assignments anymore. I have no problems with classes though. Honestly, I would rather not be here right now. I want to go out and explore the world, but I'm gonna stick it out until i graduate since I've gotten this far.

[@shloopy5]

thanks for taking my suggestion! I was at Warwick for nearly a year doing Phil/Lit but i left cus it felt pointless. Graduates i'd met said it had been interesting but thy could have read all the books on their own time and they had no practical skills! Plus i'm simply not much of a party or alcohol person so those reasons didn't motivate me. I'm still looking for work now but i'm on a part time course in something more practical. Humans have forgotten the joy of getting their hands dirty :D

[@NoOtherNamesWereLeft]

I just started my second year of uni (in Denmark) and I love it! I study linguistics and I just know that is exactly what I want to do! Every day is just wonderful and exciting and interesting, the people here are amazing... But of course, linguistics is a very different subject from theatre studies. I think theatre studies is kind of like music studies (or whatever it's called, I'm not a native speaker) - it's just theory and not really the place for people who actually want to play music.

[@tigercub684]

I've almost finished my second year in an Animal Science course, and all it's really done for me so far is deferred my transition into the "real" world of responsibility and bills and full time employment. I changed my mind about 6 months ago, but have decided to finish this degree and maybe work part time while studying what I really want to (creative writing, although I get the feeling that it's kinda like acting, and all the study in the world isn't as good as actually doing it).

[@Melonlordofthecheese]

I've been in university (Huddersfield uni like you haha) for a year and have learnt a lot more practical and useful skills in my field (Music Technology) than i did in 3 years of college and internet self teaching, I already have many contacts and am guaranteed a studio job at the end of my course due to just doing free work whilst at uni. The best advice I can give is to not just do your course and expect a job you really have to work at it,start at the bottom and work up, let yourself be known

[@Rookleyz]

I'm about to start my second semester. So far I love it, but I'm living at home so I don't know what it's like to live with strangers yet. I'll be on a dorm soon, though. When I transfer, I will probably be in the city. American universities are probably really different from the English. Also, I'd recommend taking classes (dancing, singing, stage fighting, etc) and experience is always more important to casting directors than Uni itself, believe it or not. Just invest in your resume.

[@Minglesmoot]

+Jazei Jazei For me on my second semester... It really does suck.

[@ilzg2000]

Never been to uni, but I LOVE theatre. From a friend that's already done bits of acting, my understanding is to get yourself an agent. Plain and simple. You have your degree and I'm sure you can do a portfolio :)

[@SilverClock89]

I too have just finished uni and like you wonder how better off I am now in terms of my career, however I don't regret going as I feel I've grown as a person as a result

[@jennylc3]

Thanks for sharing honestly about your experience :) I am applying to Uni and love hearing about the personal side as well as watching your funny KZbin videos!

[@hannah102hannah102]

So I cannot express how much I appreciate the Army of Darkness poster behind Chris.

[@victoria.pattinson]

Last time I watched this, I was doing my GCSEs. Now I've graduated and feel like I can add something to the conversation: I liked uni, I'm not much better off for going at the moment though, still just working in retail. 😐

[@randomquotations]

Chris just explained Derby very accurately.

[@abigaillikesmail]

You're in the right place if you still want to get into acting. KZbin seems to be getting a lot more media attention nowadays, and if you keep doing what you do (which is fantastic and creative and hilarious), people will notice! I would hands down watch a sitcom if you were in it/wrote it! I reckon a BBC three slot of the crabstickz show would be the best thing ever!

[@TheRebeccar17]

OMG, as if you went to Derby! I'm in my second year there atm. I was lucky, though, I got a flat full of legends when I moved into my Halls. Where did you stay while you were there?

[@gigigirl281]

Just started my third year, but only declared my major last semester... yeah, I've got a ways to go. It's pretty good for me, but then again I haven't had to write that many essays yet. We'll see how I feel when that inevitably changes.

[@TracyLalonde]

I studied Music and Digital Media, and while it broadened my knowledge of these fields and introduced plenty of new things to think about, I honestly feel that I probably could have picked up the skills it taught me along the way without spending $4,000 a year. I did enjoy it, but now I'm kicking myself for not studying something more practical with better job prospects at the end of it.

[@laurenlee1100]

its hard to believe he's in his mid twenties he still kind of looks like a teenager

[@Jaciekakes]

Thought I'd add my experience. I am currently in my second year at uni, studying theatre as well. Its pretty good, because the course is designed around getting as much experience as possible making, directing, acting in shows etc, in an actual theatre environment. My degree is going to give a peice of paper that costs roughly $35 000 AUD (v. expensive paper), but it's good because its giving me heaps of experience doing wardrobe and costume, which is my dream career (yay).

[@NoOtherNamesWereLeft]

A suggestion: talk about something you're obsessed with. You decide wether it should be a TV show, a thought, something you do each day, something you always avoid, a kind of food... Or talk about obsession in general.

[@theoriginalhelsbels]

I've just finished uni! graduated and now erm need a job and can't find one. So tricky as I had such a great time but can't help thinking that If I'd just got a job I'd be pretty minted now and then could apply for interships. Ah I don't know, I totally agree though about the student loan stuff. I'm now back home and after tasting freedom I can't get it back!!!

[@SynysterMacca]

"I don't lactate anymore."

[@Lily_Claire]

u should talk about high school im still in high school but im aiming toward being a vet nurse im having to do a lot of preparation for it.next year i'm doing a VET(vocational education and training)course in animal studies and then i hope i get into uni With things like that i think that it is best to get more of an academic training.coz i relies on that but if your career opportunities have to do with the public then its best to get actual experience in the field,coz it doesn't rely on that

[@Azinurasyiqqin]

Well I went to an art grooming university too, but I studied writing and for me it was different, monetary wise and also connection wise, since most of the industry people was in that university. It helped me and my friends loads. It even built a budding carrier for most of my theater acquaintances. I don't know, maybe me and my mates just got lucky? Oh and I think people more than took my milk from me in the dorm, but oh well, you learn better that way.

[@mickymouse993]

I just finished my First year at uni.... it's 8.5 grand a year, but with the way its paid back in the U.K you only pay money if your earning over 21K a year, and even then its only 9% of whatever you earn over 21k back. as for my experience, I'm lovin' it. i live with great people, so much that im living with the same people when i go back in like a month, the work was hard, but just enough to push me further instead of breaking down. maybe i will feel differently after my 3rd year, maybe not.

[@moneefiction]

Talk about what you're planning to do in future. Are you going to continue as a KZbinr or do you plan on getting a job as an actor or somewhere else? BTW I'm going to college next year and I hope to do medicine in Ireland..hopefully my experience of uni isn't going to be so bad. :)

[@annieg2010]

yes because we just study the subject we go there to do for 3 years rather than a number of subjects and then 'majoring' like in america, hence we get it over and done with much quicker. But that's the minimum course length, some courses are 4 or 5 years, and some are as long as 8.

[@Angusismyhero]

I'm at Huddersfield now, my second year starts officially on Monday! I know just what you mean! I'm studying English Language with Creative Writing and can't help but think if I just got a full-time job and wrote in my spare time I'd be further on than I am now.

[@WithoutFirewood]

Haha sounded a bit like Holden Caulfield from "Catcher in the Rye". Yeah, it seems like college is only really manditory for people who want to go into jobs where training is absolutely necessary. A career in acting can be achieved through independent study and practice. Still, I hope your experience benefited you at least a bit. Wish you all the best, and hope to see you put more videos out soon!

[@straightfromschool]

I'm working towards becoming a casting director at the moment, so very intrigued by what you say about acting through a degree in theatre studies - when you knew you wanted to be an actor did you consider applying to drama school? Just so you know, something's going wrong somewhere if you don't start doing some theatre work soon..

[@Sn0wwflake]

I'm at uni now and the course is very helpful but university itself I hate. The people are all full of themselves and making proper friends is so hard as everyone is so inclusive (and none of my friends from highschool attend my university). Also I have to stay in student accommodation and i hate it.. everyones so loud and noisy and its extremely hard to get work done. In short I cannot wait to graduate.

[@genericfirstname]

I'm about three weeks from graduation so I'm asking myself the same question right now. I'm about to finish BFA Television Production and whilst I know a lot more about working in film and tv than I did before I have no idea what I'm going to be doing with myself in a month's time, which of course is nerve wracking. Also, Australia has the end of the scholarly year and the end of the calendar year.

[@OLDS98]

I work at a university as an academic advisor. It was interesting hearing your perspective.

[@Laurmins]

I know this video is like 5 years old but I'd never pass up the opportunity to birch and moan. I finished 2 years of college and it was okay??? Sorta????but I've moved since so I'm currently taking a semester off so I'm technically in my third year I guess???? It's sucks though because school is so much money and I don't even know what I want to do afterwards lol!!! I major in biology but I feel like I can't do much with that unless I focus on a specific field in bio. So it's like, do I just get a degree for the sake of it??? Pay tens of thousands of dollars just to be like "yayyy I did college look at me!!! ;)))" idk man.... In our parents generation there wasn't as much pressure to complete college so I don't think they 100% understand or struggles, u feel??,?

[@IntanJulita999]

+Lauren Elizabeth totally related :(

[@troublemaker100]

Do what I did. Both. I dropped out halfway. Now I get to how insurmountable debt, a job, and I'm trying my best to find out if my dream is physically possible within the parameters of general relativity. I couldn't be.. happier? worse off? I think the uncertainty and constant sense of paradoxical duality is what keeps it interesting.

[@cathrinekerr]

Im finishing a 4 year Spanish and Latin American BA that I started 8years ago. But I went to Mexico for a year abroad and ended up staying much longer! I have no f-ing idea what I'm going to do with the degree, my university's Shit (with a capital S!) and the course is rubbish. But they have some good teachers and if I didn't do it I wouldn't have met my wonderful husband out in there. You can't spend too long regretting things, it won't change anything, and everything happens for a reason.

[@ross58ADI]

I am a third year philosophy and theology student and I really thought uni was great, at the start. That's not so say that I'm not enjoying it now, it's still a really good laugh and I have met loads of great people. However, I know someone who dropped out in their first year and they now have earned enough money to pay off the loan they received and the're looking at putting a deposit down on a mortgage. And all I'll have is a piece of paper that says I'm good at thinking.

[@SilverDragon24]

I'm in my fourth year of university... I'll be graduating in june with a bachelors in respiratory therapy.. I swear the university years were the best and the worse... you have ups and you have downs... always trying to get good marks and all, then trying to spend time with your friends. The first year you always party hardy and your grades show for it lol... well atleast that's what happened to me. Anyways I'll be very happy once it's done for sure but I'll always appreciate the time i got

[@Asho87]

I spent 4 years doing an Econ degree (failed one year). What a waste of time and energy! Now I'm doing Law exams to get into the Law Society and become a solicitor, which is so hard but at least feels like it's leading somewhere. Nobody knows what they want to do when they're 17, I guess if they do then they're lucky, but most of my friends went on to do 2nd degrees/masters in stuff that wasn't anything to do with their first degree! Oh well, maybe I'll get to have a job by the time I'm 26 :-P

[@TH0KH]

I dunno what I wanna do about post secondary. I graduated high school this past June, but I went back this year for an extra semester. I don't know what programs I want to apply for, at what schools. Something in social science, probably. What annoys me is that no one seems to know the difference between an Honours (4 year) and General (3 years) degree, job qualification wise. All people will tell me is that Honours = big essays yaaaaay. Ugh. You'd think guidance would know, but no.

[@tomismynameforusing]

Was just randomly going through your videos, came across this and realised i'm currently doing the same course at the same uni as you did. Screwed with my mind a bit, not gonna lie.

[@NerdyPotsie]

Just starting at a community college this year. So nervous. I'm 16, so if I don't like this year, sucks for me becuz I have at least 6 more years of this to go

[@custardcreamish]

I'm at Huddersfield Uni too, but doing an Illustration course, and yeah it's pretty pants. In my 2nd though, 1st year was a waste of time, it's just an extra year of funding for the Uni tbh

[@pillowvspillow]

I am a Junior at Ohio University in Athens, Oh. I'm majoring in Anthropology so I can become an archaeologist, because I literally picked this major just so I could travel the rest of my life and hang out in museums. School sucks, but unless I become like some lottery winner or become famous in the next year or so it's my only option of getting a real career, at least according to my parents. It sucks so bad. I got low grades in some of my classes, so I had to retake them, so now I'm going to be a 5th year. I am slowly dying. But my friends here are great! lol

[@pillowvspillow]

I said Athens, Oh. Like the state of Ohio in America hahahaha I'm sorry you misread that lol

[@insanityrodax8621]

pillowvspillow Do you know what's more funny? After 3 months of post, u came back to edit it. xD

[@pillowvspillow]

Omg I came back an entire year later, that's not embarrassing. Hhahahh iSANiTYX Rodax

[@9_in_the_afternoon]

Omg that's almost exactly what I'm hoping to do, except I'm in England. Have you graduated? What's it like doing archaeology/anthropology? Do you enjoy it as much as you expected?

[@pillowvspillow]

I just graduated this spring! Tori Lee A lot has happened since I posted this comment lol. I enjoyed it IMMENSELY. I did my summer field school last summer of '15 and it was such a great learning experience. I've enjoyed both the field work and classroom and lab work all equally, it's been fantastic and so interesting. There's still so much to learn even though I've graduated. But last year I also joined my school's sketch comedy show by being on cast and also writing for them and found that I loved that a little bit more. So now I'm saving up to move to Chicago, IL to take classes at Second City Improv in January and go back and get my Masters in archaeology if this doesn't work out for me lol.

[@cupofteam]

@666wheelbite I've met him a few times - he's 19

[@DemelzaYes]

you can do both. Go to uni, then try to get into watever you want while there.I promise you its the best thing to do.

[@peesemould]

I know exactly how you feel. I did a film and TV course and I am completely no further forward. Had I gone straight into the industry when I left sixth form I'd've been much, much better off. The French have a saying. I think it's something to do with small cabbages. Sprouts?

[@Frantabulous]

I totally agree. It's so much money and I'm doing a degree I HATE! 6 months and it'll all be over!! The worst thing is I probably won't even be able to get a 'proper job' when I finish!! How depressing!! Ah well.. I'll just watch more crabstickz to cheer me up :D

[@kimchrysanthemum]

i'm in my third year now and JUST getting into the classes I need for my major. The first two years of general ed were pointless, as all the crap I "learned" don't count for anything. I guess I really can't complain because I didn't (and still don't) pay for school because I qualify for financial aid. Hopefully things turn around this school year...BLAH

[@heylenahey]

I'm skipping uni for a while. Too scared, still feel too little and I don't wanna be stuck doing graphics. Back packing round Aus and NewZealand for a year and it costs a hell of alot less.

[@bazookoidben]

No uni for me....college, but it is my third year there, so that starts for something. Funnily enough I did want to do acting, but for the points that you mentioned where the reasons why I never studied it. It does seem rather dry once you start to study it personally. So I took up design, its a fun world.

[@YouveBeenRachelled]

I can't believe I didn't know you went to Derby before now. I live in Derby. Everything you said about it is true. That's why i'm fleeing in September!

[@semt9]

Finished last may went to a private uni in london so paid wayyyy more than you did. Had a lot of fun and got a marketing degree in my spare time lol. 2:1 as well but guess what, yet to get a real job almost a year later. Was dragged kicking and screaming to graduation coz i wanted to avoid the real world. I get no comfort in knowing it's exactly as shit as I thought it would be. Sure I got an education but it's just not competitive. Uni was a fun couple of years, not much more.

[@torinothebear]

I'm in my second year at uni- but the first year of this degree (a b.arts with a double major in italian and linguistics) and I find myself wondering all the time what the hell I am doing- where its actually going to get me when i finish and whether its even necessary for me to get the degree in the first place... Right now though it's all I can imagine doing so all I can do is stick with it really and hope for the best.

[@silverpencil6]

I'm in my first year on a mechanical engineering track. It's pretty good so far - in that I haven't had any major mental meltdowns as of yet. :D

[@ChainsawDismember]

I'm just starting third year now, I'm doing English literature & creative writing. My course itself has been enjoyable, & I feel has helped my writing style become more mature, which is good for me since I want to be a published author. Its helped me personally too, since I was very shy when I first came to uni, now not so much n_n Not sure if its worth the debt though. Still, too late to regret that now I guess!

[@DCJellybean]

wow now i cant wait to go to uni next year!

[@RockinMissTiphaine]

I've just graduated as well ! But since it costs a lot less here in France (split by 18 x3) I guess I can try theaters and movies in the name of crabstickz :P

[@arcadianmorning]

I'm in my third year of college and its interesting. On one hand I actually really like studying stuff I love. On the other hand, I wonder how much difference it will make once I graduate and realize I live in the real world and need a job. I can see myself ending up working some minimum wage job and doing something that I could already be doing now minus the diploma and massive debt.

[@NinjaOutfitInTheWash]

I've been away from the internet for a day and I had total crabstickz abstinence. I am not even joking, it was quite horrible. Your friends are lucky people. : 3

[@IronMaven90]

But did you learn more about acting at all? I'm currently still in uni, I've learned alot but I also made awesome friends! So many cool memories!

[@alexyuzwa]

I'm in my second year of uni.. I'm in geography but I hope to go into Education afterward. See, because here, to go into education you have to get a degree in something "teachable" first - and THEN go into education to get a 2 year education degree. So school will turn out to be utterly pointless for me if I don't get into education after my geography degree. Because really what else can you do with an arts degree in geography?...

[@MsBejbejbej]

I know right? I'd say middle high->high school->college for bachelor degree and I guess I would call it university if I was a graduate student.

[@EleanoraNobody]

Im just going through the application process for uni now and it seems like so much confusion and stress for very little reward. I dont really know what the degree in fine art that I want is going to do for me, but I seem to have a suitable gap in the next 4 years of my life that I need to fill, so why not.

[@xXammanda]

luckily for me uni doesn't cost anything here but still i'm only in it for the parties, once i'm done i'll work up enough money to just travel around the world and hopefully find some kind of purpose in life.

[@mickymouse993]

It realy just depends on who you end up being put with in Student Accom. my Ex-GF goes there and she has had no problem with roommates. but, everybody's experience is different, i know people at my Uni that almost went home because of their roommates, but I'm living with the same people i lived with last year when i go back next month.

[@allmytictacs]

[@LizzieLayne]

This is my second year and I'm studying electronic media, which is basically broadcasting, but I hate the news and have no desire to do broadcasting AND I can't stand the city I'm in, so I m trying my damnedest to transfer to a college in NYC for film and video production and maybe take some acting classes on the side. WOAH, take a breath, Lizzie!

[@beany091]

Uni is a difficult subject for me too.. I'm in my third year doing Ceramics and Glass, and I have thought that it has been a bit of a waste (nearly £20k to be stressed lots and dissertation etc is shite).. But I have learnt how to blow glass (which is really freakin' cool) and wanting to go into that as a career (placement in the isle of wight this summer woo!) so I spose it hasn't been all bad ^^

[@lacyscott9310]

[@SSidWasHere]

Uni currently is the biggest waste of my life. I'm doing my third year in Media Production, starting tomorrow. I've learnt nothing in the previous two years and spent more time working on actual projects with clients then I did at uni.. Wouldn't recommend Uni to anyone looking to do anything creative. Just go do it and not waste time getting drunk for no reason and owing money you shouldn't. i've decided to make my third year a lot more interesting by doing daily vlogs and challenges :D

[@ElysiaMaerda]

I am in my second year of university. I am going for Health Care and I really don't feel that I am learning much of anything. When I finish my 2 year in April, I will have my Associates which I find out will not do me much good anymore and should go on to a Bacholer's which would be another 2 years. I am already at about $20,000 in debt and another 2 yrs would of course mean more debt. Not liking it at all

[@mickymouse993]

do whatever you feel is right, i was never pushed into going to uni, i just did it because its what i think will be better than me. Follow your dream is an okay saying, but you have to be realistic as well.

I am in my second year, and still don't think it is worth the price. I reckon, if a lecture is cancelled or the lecturer can't make, we should get some money back!

woo! I'm doing theatre studies too :) It's useless, but fun! lol. I do music too though, so that might be why.

college college college...I had been let go from the nursing program after 3.5 years this past semester so now i'm thinking about community college to finish it up..it will take a bit longer but will be worth it...i would have had to owe back the college $140,000 but i was also in an army program and they paid for it all..so basically 3.5 years of school, no completed degree but no college debt..could've been worse

I live in Derby and I'm going to uni here in a few months, I didn't realise you went haha. I can believe the weed part I swear this whole city is made of weed

[@chelgonzalo]

Same here, it's kind of strange knowing Chris went there

[@Berfaann]

Nearly went to Derby myself! Glad I changed my mind..

[@emilypops]

i'm doin A-level dance at college. I'm not that far into the course and i'm already regretting taking it, because I don't think when I finish I will get any thing out of it :/

[@MaskedGurl]

I like you Chris. I think you're really funny and talented. How are you putting your degree to use? I don't know how it works so this might be a stupid question. Do you go to theaters and try to get parts? Would you consider moving to Hollywood and finding an agency (or whatever one does to get into television commercials and such)?
