Recession Job Ideas for Actors

This week's entry is geared towards those actors who are really struggling with paying the bills! The recession is hitting all of hard, even those of us who thought we were safe! Here are some jobs you can work and still have audition flexibility:

1. Substitute Teaching (You'll need a college degree and you have to pass the CBEST test)
2. After-School Tutoring (Check Craigslist for constant listings!)
3. Freelance Writer (Demand Studios, Associated Content, etc.)
4. Babysitting
5. Bartending/Waitressing (I know, obvious, but some people forget!)
6. Notary Public (doesn't cost that much to get certified and you can create your own rates!)
7. Sell Proprietary Products (Avon, Mona Vie, etc.)
8. House Cleaning (Ask your friends! You'd be surprised how much they'd pay you!)
9. Catering (Your own or for a company)
10. Sell your old CDs and clothes (Buffalo Exchange or Crossroads in LA) -- you'd be surprised how much you can get!

Good luck and keep your head up!
