actors
i've done a few shows recently with actors who, for a change, are not fresh out of college, and make a significant portion of their living through acting work (commercials and voiceovers are what pays, apparently.)

they also have a fairly interesting range of day jobs. (it's been a topic i've paid attention to a lot more recently, now that i'm absolutely positive that temping/offices are eating my soul.)

some dayjobs include:

--massage therapist (pretty common, actually)
--catering manager
--real estate agent
--pet shop clerk
--stay at home dad

i'm not including the lawyers, doctors, etc. - those feel a little more substantial than a "day job". also, those people tend to define themselves as having the more professional career first ("i'm a lawyer who also acts" as opposed to "i'm an actor who sells houses to pay the rent")

an overall departure from the land of table waiting/bartending/temping that i'm used to seeing. (of course, there are tons of those as well...)
