Subject: PUPT: Careers in puppetry?
Date: Sat, 18 Oct 2003 17:41:08 -0400


Ok, Laura's inquiries have inspired me to ask yet another of my own
annoying, bothersome questions.  :P

I was a drama/vocal major back in high school (Creative Arts) although I
haven't followed up on it in the 15 or so years since (can't believe I'm
that old).  My degree is in Psych and I'm near completion on a second bach
in Social Sciences for that matter -- careers have been law enforcement,
computers, etc. so not very much performing going on since those early days.
:)

FWIW, I've always REALLY enjoyed performing -- guess I'm a ham.  Puppetry
has my interest fairly solid but one's got to make a living, especially with
a family.

So my question:  Just what kind of careers and money are there in puppetry?
Is this just something very enjoyable or is it something one can truly turn
into a career and be prosperous doing?  Or should I just get a job waiting
tables like everyone else in the entertainment industry?  ;)

James
