      Become a model if possible. Many Hollywood singers and actresses started as models first. The money can be quite good while you are waiting for your first break. Not five foot nine... that is okay you can work in print work or as a model for conventions.

      If you cannot get work as a model, than get a job as a waitress the money will be decent while you are waiting for your break. Or even better do both...
