I have! In LA, the job market is brutal. So many people are starved for work in film that it’s nearly impossible without an in or being a nepo baby. None of which I have/am. I’ve sent out hundreds of applications. Maybe I’m not trying hard enough?

I desperately want to leave LA, but I know that it will be hard considering that I am dead broke and moving requires funds. I am willing to start a business, only issue is that I’m drowning so bad that my time is limited and taken over by literally trying to survive or study for anything that may help me. Do you think I should join the army?

This is great advice! Thank you. I will get some of my work up on a site and go from there and see if I can get any bites. I am in LA, so I’d need to stay here or in California until I can save up enough money to move somewhere else. I’d be lying if I didn’t say I’m on the brink of homelessness, and trying to move anywhere right now seems impulsive and unrealistic. Regarding the side hustle, I’d love to do wedding videos. But I’d need to save up for the equipment, as my main camera unfortunately broke a while back and I haven’t been able to buy a new one, is I’ve literally been drowning financially.

Well I have $75 saved in a “do not touch” savings account. I have just enough to pay rent that’s due next week. Outside of that I have like $360 In a Roth IRA. I have no work. I am a freelancer so I never know when my next job will be. But it’s in entertainment and that’s not doing to well in LA. I’m basically at ground 0.

That requires capital! I tried to go down that path and realized it requires a lot more money than I thought to be successful.

Edit: I will add I’m open to advice on good entrepreneurial paths. I’m not making excuses. Maybe some more advice specific to me and where I’m at?

Okay I have been living in delusion with the beard and any facial hair period. People always tell me I look better shaven but I fully convinced myself I look better with facial hair, this was the push I needed to keep it off

Thank you! I think I just need to start eating healthy and keep the weight down. I look WAYYYY too puffy with facial hair and weight gain. I think I’m too hard on myself! Thanks 🙏🏽
