AWESOME! Sadly I don't have the grades or the money for CM, and since my parents may make go to a community college b/c of finical and academic support services reasons, I'll wait to check out CM if I do choose acting or musical theatre and if I do go to community college. But, this was useful to me for the future :D

Most of these people end up doing panto in some theatre or minor tv work at best.

Lets be honest most people taking these courses want to be in movies... which never happen.

@KarlPilkingtonFan shows what you know.

@emmyv05

As a graduate of RADA, with an above average grade, extensive praise & instense training from influencial drama teachers it does show what i know.

I challenge you to visit any of London's top Drama schools and request a preview sheet of students who were offered movie roles and/or went on to become stars on the big screen.

I can garentee you 45% chose a different career path with 55% settling for badly paid panto' or ending up on Eastenders.

@KarlPilkingtonFan It really depends on the amount of passion and dedication you have to the business. If you are going to give up even after 5 years...then that tells you that you don't love what you do. Different people, David Fincher for example, started his job in Hollywood working a low-paying labor job. but then he got the opportunity and from there made it. The arts is not the same as a doctor or a lawyer job. It takes a lot of effort and a lot of doing.
