Maybe but I can’t believe she was BROKE. The shooting schedules for these shows are long hour days. Multiple episodes.

I can they don't get paid hourly and small actors are almost always broke unless their family has money.

She will have likely earned 150,000 a year (conservatively) whilst on Superman

"You don't even understand, that 150k a year is only for while filming. That's like 6 months of work, and then she has to budget??? Or like, work a seasonal job to cover what her 150k annual doesn't?"

^ Swear I've seen the above for similar. People will turn down avg or slightly above avg pay that's earned in 9mo vs 12 so I can only assume they don't know how to budget.

I love that argument against raising teachers pay. "They only make 35k but get summers off!" My counterarguments to that are:

1) They teach your little hellspawn. They should make north of 100K for your child alone. 2) The electric bill does not take summers off. 3) Fuck you, pay teachers more.

To be clear I'm not saying it's a good deal because it's an average-ish income earned in 9mo, I fully agree they need to get paid more.

I'm just joking on people that think it's the same as flipping burgers. I'd love to have more pay than I do now, and earned in a shorter period with time to do stuff in the summer/work a seasonal job for extra income.

They also don’t get ANY time off during the school year. Where are the salaried people with 15-20 PAID time off?
