Even though they were shunned by local public schools, Johnno and Michael try hosting their own Career Day so they can give students (and the world!) the secrets to being a successful, bookable actor.
Career Day has a reputation for being notoriously underwhelming.
Most schools don’t have the time or resources to provide a comprehensive career day because most schools in the United States are so devastatingly underfunded, so most career days are a mixed bag of well-intentioned volunteers from local and corporate businesses who will give you their two cents how how to get a job while low-key pitching you on applying to their company. This is totally a step in the right direction, but students definitely need more.
LUCKY – JOHNNO AND MICHAEL ARE DOING THEIR OWN CARRER DAY AND PLAN TO BE TOTALLY HONEST ABOUT HOW BRUTAL PURSUING YOUR DREAMS CAN BE. No toxic positivity here folks – just Johnno and Michael sharing the secrets on how to be a successful, bookable actor while also being honest about how much (and how hard) you will fail before you see any amount of success. It ain’t glamours – but hey, at least you’re failing at doing what you love instead of failing (or being mildly successful) at something you hate!
A note from FOD: please don’t just rely solely on your school’s career day (or Johnno and Michael’s career day) to dictate your career path – use the Internet, your friends, and your family as a resource. Make yourself personally responsible for your own success so that, years later, you’re not one of those people who blames everyone around them for being unhappy.
