Subject: [Puptcrit] jobs for puppeteers


I wanted to throw my two cents in, I know Mark already did...when I was 
trying to get our puppet company off the ground, I temped alot...hated it, 
but was also able to do gigs whenever they came up and I knew however mind 
numbing a job was it wasn't permanent and i was doing this to further my 
puppet career. All the office work actually has come in handy in running my 
own office! Another job I held (seasonal) was as a visual display artist for 
a local Macy's...it is only slightly creative, but it was better than 
nothing! Also for four summers I taught at a theatre camp and integrated 
puppetry into my sessions. This experience came in handy on creating lesson 
plans and time management for workshops. Another suggestion would be to work 
at a fabric / craft store because at least you'd get discounts on 
supplies!!!

Bon Chance!
