I’m a Thai actor. I can’t speak for all actors, but I get paid ~250k baht per episode for a lakorn (TV drama). A typical lakorn has ~15 episodes. I usually do 1 per year. Add to that the salary I get from the TV network to stay with them.

Currently an intern in IT getting paid 17/hr. Pretty much everybody is telling me I’m getting paid shit. However, I’m very inexperienced, even though I’m taking comp sci classes, I don’t feel nearly knowledgeable enough or productive enough to justify getting paid more.
Eventually I hope to be some server admin or some kind of security analyst. Maybe I’ll jump ship after a year or two but so far, any experience is good experience for me.
If you guys have any career advice lmk.
Career advice:
Don’t wait a year or two to apply to other places if you know that you could get payed better in the future. Also, impostor syndrome is a real thing and employers know about it and use it agains you.
Money is not everything, but until you are done worrying about rent, car payment (required in most North American cities), student loan or whatever, don’t settle. No one on your company needs to know that you applied elsewhere. The people that matter will still keep in contact after you leave as they know it is for your benefit.
I took an early job or two where I was paid shit, but learning a ton. I told myself I would make up for it later by building up marketable skills.
Today, I’m paid quite nicely because I built up lots of marketable skills. 10/10. I would do it that way again.
That said, obviously I didn’t stay at those (shitty paying) jobs long term.
