<p>Finding Pennies, Beentheredad - exactly what I mean. Ellen’s has a phenomenally talented staff and they struggle so to get to Broadway. Many of them get a run here or there, but are back as waitstaff over and over. It is great to be able follow your dream, but you can’t expect parents to fork over $200,000 to prepare you for that life. Perhaps OP can find a state school that offers MT, and minor in something else to fall back on in case she can’t live her dream.</p>
