Job advice? Help?

I work for my dads company. I live in Nottinghamshire, but travel to London everyday. It pays well, but that is about the only perk to the job. I'm the only female, and I get very lonely sometimes. I want another job, but don't want to sacrifice the money, as it's too good, however I am quite happy to carry on cummiting if its for a job I enjoy. In my spare time I like designing clothes (e.g getting an old pair of jeans and making them new) and I studied performing arts at college, so thats the kind of stuff I enjoy, but would not know how to go about finding the right job that encorporates any of this. Any suggestions please-I'm on a real low.Job advice? Help?

In a sense, go out and do it! Use and regard your current job as your safety net - as soon as you also start to do something creative you may find that the job is more bearable - not to mention the money. Actors spend a lot of time 'resting' so you do need to consider whether that is something you wish to commit ot. Otherwise, as the other answere says, make some stuff, get a stall, see if it sells. Ultimately you're probably going to have to think of being self-employed because unless you have a qual in design/pattern-cutting/textile design the competition is so fierce that you may find getting work difficult - no matter how talented you are. But you can always build up a portfolio, learn by your mistakes, and do it!


Very best of luck.
Maybe you could stay at your job for a while, while looking for designer seminars, or going to auditions. Since you travel to London everyday, your in a wealth of opportunity to continue your craft. Maybe you could try out for a small production that performs on the weekends to get your name out there while still having the income from you 9-5 job. Design and acting are tough businesses, so keep and eye out for any opportunites that come along. the best of luck!!!!
