@DoinResearch - we started the conversation about… 10 years ago? lol. When my D started talking about acting as a career, we started talking about how you pay rent. I don’t think we are unsupportive and we are doing everything we can to make sure she will get the education she needs with no debt but we always set the expectation with her that success in acting comes at different ages, that early success is achieved by few, that she needs to be able to support herself in order to continue as an artist. We do want her to be able to pursue her career of choice but we don’t want her to make and either/or decision with being an actor or being a fully responsible adult. That will mean that she will need to make sacrifices in life-style and standard of living and it’ll be interesting how that plays out. It might be a little different for us because D is a character actress -I always keep in mind she might not get her big break for 20 years. I remember a Tony speech a couple of years ago when the actor said he’d been acting for something like 37 years - and that 34 of them had been pretty rough. I want her to be prepared for that.
