[quote=Anonymous]I would support them.  I don't mean financially; they need to be able to figure that out on their own.

I have a friend who was always into acting/music/modeling in high school.  I'm not sure what his major was in college but about 5 years after graduation, he moved to LA to pursue a career in entertainment.  He got a really great job as a waiter at a high-end restaurant, and he was putting out music independently and performing on the local scene. He also did some modeling; he had a cover on one of those harlequin romance-type books, he had a small part in a music video, he did some commercials, etc. He eventually earned his SAG card and he still does some repeat commercial work for one of the companies he's worked with for years.  He's in his late 40's now, has a kid, and his focus is now real estate.  He has no regrets and has always supported himself. He did move back home once, for a year, to save money before his big move to LA. But he worked full time, contributed to the household, and was never a burden to his mother. [/quote]
