But let me let you know what my plan is.
My current major is Theatre (performance). However, I am also trying to work in a double major with Theatre (Education). So far, it is working, but it seems that scheduling classes for my Junior year is going to be tricky. I may have to do an extra semester, however, that is more money.
My tenative plan right now is to go to New York and try out the "auditioning while being a waiter for ends meat" scene. I'll see how that goes. If it works, great, if not, I'll teach Theatre in high school.
In my state, if you teach in that same state in a public school for four consecutive years, they will refund your tuition (not room and board or other expenses, just tuition) from all four years you were a undergraduate. However, I will need to go to graduate school for my Master's. Another two years of school.
So if I can't be on the stage (or on camera), at least I can make a nice living doing something I still love.
Not sure if it helps, but that is my situation.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle
