I can't decide if to choose a career as a Yoga professor and Masseuse or Actress, Please help me decide!?

Question

Please tell me which will be the best according to your own opinion and why, what are the pros and cons of each if there's any.

Thank you, open minded responses are very very welcome!

Answer 1

Well I am not really sure about any, but I personally think it would be a lot harder to be successful as an actress. I think you could do that and also work as a yoga professor or masseuse. I personally think being a yoga professor would be a lot of fun. Having a job where you can relax would be awesome.

Answer 2

Do you like to eat and pay your bills on time? Then don't become an actress! If you really like to act, join a community theater. I would NEVER recommend it as a career. Explore it as a hobby and maybe something will happen! But only about 2% of the population gets to make any money in acting. Most actors/dancers have jobs as waiters or hotel maids just so they can pay the bills until they are discovered, if ever.

Yoga and masseuse are hot careers. Everyone wants to get on the healthy wagon and both are in great demand. I have a friend who is a massage therapist. She has her own business, makes her own hours and takes days off when she wants. Yes, it is a physical job but the rewards are immense.

Answer 3

Nobody here can give you an authoritative answer.

That's because even if we're professional career counselors, we can't get to know you well enough.

I'd recommend going to a nearby community college and asking if their career counselors will help you.  Usually they will--it's community service as well as potentially recruting a new student.  They will have the tools and knowledge to give you a list of careers that match your aptitudes and attitudes--and then you can choose based on authoritative opinion, rather than the guesswork you're getting here.
