Labor Statistics.

WHY I CHOSE THIS CAREER.

I chose this career because you don’t have to

take anything too seriously and you can just play

around and have fun with different characters. It’s a

good way to meet a lot of interesting people and you

can travel to different places. People pay you to play

pretend just like you were a kid.

The median hourly wage for an Actor is

$17.44 as of May 2010.

Salary

4% from 2010 - 2020.

needed to act.
