If you're thinking about a career change, you need to prepare yourself for possible gaps in income. Do you have a paying skill that you know will bring in money? For example, have you ever met a waiter in NY or LA that wasn't an actor? We haven't. Do you have a lapsed teaching certificate, jazzercise teaching background, or experience as a night watchman? Have a job to bank on while you develop a new way to make bank.
Creating a backup plan is like a safety net that will help you bounce back should your career ever takes a serious fall.
