Why 'the career from hell'?

You know why.

Because 98% of you will never make a living from acting.

Because everyone thinks they can be an actor too.

Because by choosing to be an actor, you're entering a vast community of insecure, self-involved, delusional twats.

Because you'll probably end up marrying one of those insecure, self-involved, delusional twats, and one of you will be more successful than the other.

Because your insecure, self-involved, delusional twat spouse will have illicit sex with more gorgeous co-stars than you ever thought possible.

Because everyone from your hometown in Kentucky is sure you're the next Angelina Jolie, and they can't understand why they haven't seen you in a Hollywood movie yet.

Because when you eat in a restaurant in New York or L.A., your waiter will always be another actor.

Because no matter how smart, funny, charming, and talented you are, your looks will always come first.

Because it's all you want to do, and on most days you won't be doing it.

Because you will make a huge ass out of yourself.

Because you will fail and fail and fail and fail.

And that's the truth. But as they say in addiction recovery, knowing is half the battle.
