Re: what job is this btw?

I'm a background extra in films/tv shows/etc.

Unfortunately, for most people this won't be an option, because there are only a fewlocations where the film industry is booming enough to support consistent need for BG extras. Vancouver, Toronto, LA, New York, I guess London...some others but I don't really know that much about the film industry outside Canada.

I will say, though, that while it's a cool job in some respects, there are a lot of things about it that are utter shit. Having absolute control over what days you do and don't work is great, but I still spend a lot of time wondering if it's worth it, or if I should just get a job at a grocery store two blocks from my house and do my best to keep it together and show up every day.
