Acting, whether it be in theater o television, is about networking. The best way to network is to go to school. In college, te meet peers, grad students and professors all interested in the same field: theater arts. Drama professors tend to be experienced. Often, they are working actors/directors/producers/writers, etc. There are several affordable schools in the states te can attend. With a bachelors degree in drama on your resume, te also are più likely to be admitted into the actors union, which will get te più money and più auditions. If te want to go even farther and get an MFA (Master of Fine Arts) in drama, well, just like any career, the higher the degree, the più impressive it is. I'm a drama major at the università of Washington, and work with professors who have been in LA, and several who have worked in New York. I also work with grad students (from the Professional Actors' Training Program) who help me in the craft, and are also great connections for me in the future. So, just like your parents always told you, it's so important that te go to college and get a degree. Acting's hard, and it's an even tougher world (auditions, casting, living from job to job), so te have to be committed and prepared and college really helps te with that.
