School task (Acting) Help

Good morning,

My name is Pedro and I am a student from EF language school in Boston,Ma (for foreign students). I am leaving this post in order to get some information for my journalism class task about the experience and the struggle that someone experiences when wants to earn a living being an actor. Personally I find acting such an artistic and admirable job and If I had the opportunnity I would follow the path of drama and interpretation. Basically I just wanted to know the basic information (from personal experience) about how difficult is to find a job, the most common fears and of course the love and the passion that that every actor is up to give to this art. Furthermore, I would like to know if there's any advisable place or city to move to in order to develop the acting skills.

Thanks
