I think I was decided to be an actor, but found a love in PCs and tech first.

I feel my personality is one of someone who could have been an actor.

:)
 
I personally see all actors as technically being unemployed. Let's be honest, they really work on the same principle as seasonal workers. You work when there is work for you to do, the rest of the time you're really on your own. The really successful actors will have work every year, and the superstar actors will pick and choose which jobs they want to do when they want to do it. However if you're not a headliner it will be day in and day our of auditions to play "Background zombie #3" and "person eating bagel in shopfront" which might equate to a week of work and you may not even be credited. Take the actor Jesse Heiman as an example. You have probably never even heard of him, however he has appeared in 77 movies, TV episodes, etc... he is the super extra of movies. He has played in American Pie 2, Van Wilder, Spider-man, Rules of attraction, Catch me if you can, Old School, Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! , Cougar Club, Bad Neighbors and Transformers: Dark of the Moon to just name a few.

Nee man, jy maak my bang.

I'll stick to IT (when I eventually get there).

Go Launcher EX (Android App), has been improved since I last used it years ago. :)

I enjoy what I studied last year: PC Repairing and Maintenance.

Within the firm I am working, IT and Accounting are the 2 field into which one can go. Needless to say, I intend going into IT, soon as the boss sees me fit to do so. Perhaps they'll first have to find another receptionist before I can enter that field. I hope it won't take too long :)

That is something a lot of people forget. I really enjoy my position as a Senior Infrastructure Architect, but I do miss the more hands on side of things like Engineering or Operational Support. What i enjoy most is playing with the big expensive toys I can get my hands on.
