Job searching when you're a theatre major

Maybe that title just speaks for itself.
There's a limited amount of things I feel qualified to apply for. I suppose that is true of most specializations. If I was an accounting major maybe it'd be the same way. There just aren't all that many people out there that need theatre makers like they need accountants. I like to think maybe that's some of the beauty of my job too. I offer a skill that you don't just come by too easily. I think. I hope.
I have been lucky as of late in getting an interview at a Children's Theatre up in Portland. I'm also auditioning up there on the same day. Big day. January 16th. Cross your fingers at 10 and 12:30.
I feel strangely optimistic that I will be secure and okay this next year. I'm even really looking forward to it. I will miss the security and automatic friends that graduate school has offered but I'm up for the challenge and something new. I'm excited to practice theatre rather than just study it.
I wish our country supported actors and artists like the true professionals they are. I read this article by Hannah Fox who practices Playback Theatre and she wrote about how the Cuban government is highly supportive of those who choose to act professionally. It's even treated as a national service. That would be nice. I'd like to think it was possible. But i don't think even Barack is that magical.
