I should clarify that D is very grateful for the work she has gotten so far, and to-date her career is very much what she had hoped for, but she certainly has friends who have enjoyed higher levels of performing success in addition to those who have chosen to pursue other careers. In general those who land TV or film work will earn far more than those who stick to the stage, and apparently both the look (film generally wants TINY women) and skills are rather different than live theatre, so if your kids are drawn to that I’d urge them to study screen acting as part of their MT training.
