Kids today wanting to break into streaming is like kids in the past wanting to become Hollywood stars, or Broadway or whatever else. I would say to him what a director once said to me when I was starting out in that industry - there are 50k jobs, and 500k people auditioning, which in practical terms means you're going to be working eighty hour weeks for well below minimum wage unless you win the fucking lottery and become a mega star.
I got out of professional theatre after about a year, god damn it sucked.
Yeah, the local/semi-pro scene is way chiller, just as talented, and you dont have to sing La Boheme over and over again for 20 years instead of the stuff you actually like.
