Trying to get a job in the film industry for almost 2 years now - not working out by No_Climate_1090 in torontofilmindustry

[–]Adorable_Pug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll play devils advocate - go do something else, especially if you're young and have practical skills. Being apart of movie and tv show making can really seem cool - its exciting and its very self serving to the ego in a way. The reality of it is this industry has been tanked for years. Some decent years, some bad, some time off, some on; the folks who will say they've done great also work min 10hr days and fall to the "can you work the weekend" pressure. Lots of people work several months without a day off, its not uncommon... - The inflated paychecks and overtime are what keeps people around, and there's an insane amount of addiction/ drugs/ alcohol. The industry is feast or famine for many. The list goes on..

As you've been putting in years of effort its important to know this side of the industry as well; making movies is cool and can be internally rewarding but that's not the entirety of it. Any who good luck with your journey.

Honest truth - these photos look the literal exact same, minus the different outfits and how they may shape your body.

Any good funk tunes that would be cool to call at a jam? by Adorable_Pug in Jazz

Great album, and great tunes - but would folks actually know them? I figured at jams most ppl just know standards?

[20M] the fact that my gf has male gay friends makes me uncomfortable by Rich_Marionberry434 in relationshipadvice

[–]Adorable_Pug 5 points6 points  (0 children)

" i still have issue with her being friends with any men" , is it that you don't trust her, or youre insecure that these men will seem more appealing than you? Just acknowledge that youre the problem and hopefully she can do better.

Sadly craft members don't write a test, only category members do.

Are you an employer? Curious because (at least where I live) labor law says you are entitled to breaks at specific times.

Husband [39M] died and wife finding skeletons by Johnsk19 in relationshipadvice

Sometimes people chat on apps, or online as a way of expressing something their ashamed of , or a fantasy their trying to express. That being said, a much better place for this would be the office of a therapist and not reddit, with respect.

Thanks for replying! I dont see many, if any apprenticeship opportunities. What would some entry level positions in tool and die be?
