Is background acting a viable entry-level, part-time job?

At least as an entry level, part time gig?

Yes

No

Maybe

That's a hobby, not a job. You need a real job that pays real money, and has a good chance of leading somewhere.

*IF* sometime in the future the hobby starts to pay, then it can be reevaluated then. In the meantime it should be nothing more than a hobby.

Well when so-called entry level jobs are gatekept as much as regulated professions, of course I'm desperate and have to rely on these gigs. I thankfully still live with my parents, but they're gonna retire soon and then I'm screwed; I currently donate plasma to Grifols and signed up for TaskRabbit (no clients yet). I do have my own startup but that's not something that'll make me money in the short term, especially with how bad the global economy has become.

I'm also considering to maybe become a security guard by getting a security license and CPR training certification, but I think there's too many people trying to become them so still deciding if that's the right path. If you're wondering, I studied social sciences in university and computer programming in community college, but sadly both aren't really employable.
