Book Editing or Acting (Theatre)

College Majors
1

<p>I had considered acting for a long time now... but the thought being an editor perked my interests.</p>

<p>Considering when you live a life in an Asian family, you get bad remarks on both of these things that I prefer and love by far (I am decent in math/science but my love is not in the fields of Engineering/CS/Medical/etc).</p>

<p>I understand that both do not provide a "stable" career and I will probably double in Business (Accounting?) if they both really aren't that stable.
I am just curious which would be easier to get a job and have a stable gain of money (or at least near decent).</p>

<p>And if I were to want to enter the career path of Book Editing, what degree should I get? I here so many people getting different degrees, but I am curious of what degree is the best for this field.
I'm guessing a English Language and Literature, General?</p>

<p>Also pondering this:
If a person edits a book that becomes a bestseller, does the person editing get anything (recognition, money)? Or only the author.?</p>

<p>Also curious about Technical Editing. I am not the worst in academic subjects featuring the sciences and possibly others, so maybe being a technical editor would not be that bad?</p>

<p>**If you were to compare:
Book Editor vs Actor vs Technical Editor,</p>

<p>what would be the best possible outcome if you want a good balance between getting a job and the salary output?**</p>

<p>and if I were to pick a Technical Editor (currently looks like the top choice), what degree should I go for? Still English Lang + Lit, General? Or Major/Minor? Double Major? or just go for a whatever</p>
