From Actors to Writers and from Grips to Graphic Designers, work in entertainment has a lot of variability which affects careers, lives, lifestyle and even mental health. With all these ups and downs, how can Entertainment professionals stay resilient in their careers?

One answer is finding alternative income-generating activities in the face of work inconsistency.
