Life/Career/Advice post MT degree graduation

Part 3 (woof):

  1. What do you think of cruise ship jobs?

I haven’t done one. But they PAY. Do your research. See who’s casting it. Some treat you much better than others. Norwegian, RC, Disney- great.

I’m in a long term relationship and have the cat of my dreams, so I’m not interested in doing one at the moment but but damn do those pics my friends post make me jealous.

  1. What do you think of amusement park jobs?

I haven’t ever done one. To me it seems like more of a summer college job but more power to anyone who wants to do it! Some pay a lot- like Universal Tokyo or Tokyo Disney. See my answer on the 2/3 what looks good on a resume.

  1. What about traveling shows for youth? (i.e. TheatreWorks USA)

I’ve done 2 of these- going on my 3rd. Two non union with two beans/theatreworks and then the one I’m about to go on with the Kennedy Center to get my card. I think they’re wonderful. They are beyond fulfilling in terms of the response you get and it’s hard work but worth it. Halflokum’s answer is a really special way to think about it.

  1. Are there good social media or websites for post grads to get help with finding auditions, finding work, finding housing, etc.?
