I'm for people bettering themselves, no matter who they are and where they are, doing all they can to be all they can be.
The aging process has you firmly in its grasp if you never get the urge to throw a snowball.
I had some years of definite frustration. Auditioning and not working as much as I would have liked to, or working and being paid a pittance, and sort of scrounging by in New York and sleeping on a chair that folded out into a bed.
