Should I choose acting or photography at uni?

Question

I like acting more but photography seems a safer option and i am not sure

Answer 1

I agree that photography's definitely the safer bet. Sometimes, you've gotta go with what your head's saying, rather than what your heart's saying in this life, sadly. There are a lot more photography jobs out there than what there are, acting jobs, at the end of the day. Think about it like that, my friend.

Answer 2

You like acting more? Do acting.

Answer 3

Combine them. Become a set stills photographer.

Answer 4

Go with what you love. If you love them both equal, go with what you're best at. Simple. eh ?

Answer 5

Neither would lead to a career.

If you're in the UK, uni isn't good enough to get into acting as a professional - it has to be a top drama school.

And photography is best learned by getting into a business as an apprentice.

Answer 6

Honestly, those institutions let anybody in, don't they?!

Answer 7

Either one will get you a leg up in either the custodial or food service industries.

Answer 8

Photography is bland and won't get you anywhere professionally. This is why you start private businesses with photography.
