A friend of yours tells you that she is going to become a playwright and make a living off that for the rest of her life. You tell her that it is very hard to make a living solely off of playwriting and that she should pursue other routes as well.

When she asks you what other options there are you come up with a list of three in your mind. The other options you come up with are working somewhere else in the theatre, such as the box office, working as a screenwriter for T.V. in addition to playwriting, and seeking membership to professional groups such as the Dramatists Guild. Which of these three options is most likely the best one to suggest to your friend?A. Working somewhere else in the theatre, such as the

playwriting.
