What's my next step?

Hi all. I have just found this website and it's been great reading your 'real and honest' questions and replies. It gives me the confidence to ask one myself.

I'm wondering about what pathways people have taken to move their careers forward? I have just completed 6 months of a year long part-time drama course at VCA and want to know what I could be doing in conjunction to the acting classes. My ultimate destination is being paid for something that I love doing!

Eager to hear from you.
