What can I do kickstart jobs in my major while I am starting or currently attending college?
I am a first generation college student that will be majoring theatre. I took a gap year to save money for tuition and will probably be working throughout the school year as well. But, I have been thinking if there is a way I can tie my work into my intended major to gain as much experience and potential career opportunities as possible. That way, I can get the full college experience while also giving myself a head start into the real world with my career. Finding a place to start is where I seem to be struggling the most. Any ideas or advice is extremely helpful!

How can I build my professional acting portfolio while being active in college, what will professional companies most look for ?
I'm a seventeen year old in high school, and am going to college for theatre. More specifically live theatre. I've had experience in competitive and community plays in the past and have enjoyed both experiences thoroughly. However, I've never experienced theatre on a professional level, as there haven't been any opportunities available to me. This is concerning as I intend to become a professional actor post-college, and have currently had zero experience to put in my portfolio. What are the most important factors that casting agents look for in an applicant, how can I build those skills during college so Ill have experience in the field prior to application?
