I think long term, both can be viable forms of employment (well latter would be if unionized, pursuing similar gigs to compliment acting like modelling and commercial work), but for short term they may be easy to enter although come with the same issues: inconsistent schedules, paradoxically bad reliability, terrible pay, dealing with shady people, etc. However for security guard I'd need to pay hundreds of dollars for the training, background check, exams, and licensing whereas for background actor, I have to pay commission fees to the agencies or even annual membership fees (some do) and the pay is painfully slow/bureaucratic. Still worth doing either because they both are always in demand, pretty much anybody can qualify for it, and how the job operates is quite transparent/obvious (especially in this economy where pink collar jobs are as unlikely as winning the lottery to get, whereas gig apps are very unreliable due to strict rules and weird algorithms along with low pay).

I am both on the Autistic Spectrum and have severe treatment-resistant Bipolar.

After 25 jobs and with the threat of my disability benefits being yanked from me due to having too many work attempts, I accepted fate and now I barely leave the house and remain dependent on my disability benefits. On the brightside, I am now married, so that huge burden of trying to find a wife has been lifted off my shoulders.

Now there are more profound issues that have worsened. My moods have become severe, I cannot handle being "overstimulated" with stressing situations or I fall apart, and now I have unrestrained meltdowns in public.

As I have grown older and more distant from normal life social situations, I have found it incredibly challenging to handle them. Masking my deficiencies have become increasingly difficult too. I used to be able to play it off well until I couldn't no longer and people started to notice. Now, it is always a challenge.

Currently still in seed stage and because of what's going on for the global economy, I have to put a pause to being an entrepreneur. Plus my parents are gonna retire within the next year or two, and return back to their homeland. I originally for a long time intended to offer multiple different products for my business, but obviously that makes my resources spread too thin and confuses both clients and investors.

I dropped IoT, generative AI, and industrial robotics entirely, but now I'm considering to also abandon (at least the dedicated/standalone forms of) agentic AI and XR components, as well as humanoid robotics. That leaves behind bio mimicry robotics alongside licensing/royalties of IP and servicing of products; in terms of the software ecosystem, I'll just use Linux and have it heavily modified to become its own OS.

I always wanted to pursue a specific niche and many people did criticize my startup for being too generalized, and I never really knew what my niche could be. Before it ranged from replacing middle management jobs to catering to more rural clients to seeking primary sector clients to being industry agnostic to even augmemtation over automation.

Sadly those are way too broad and now I've realized bio mimicry was the niche I should've went for this whole time; I was so blind that the solution was right before my eyes. I'll still implement IoT and generative AI into the bio-mimicry robotics itself, but they'll be quite insignificant. Now I know many will tell me it'll take forever for such a product to gain traction and that's fine because I'm still young.
