Now, 6 years later I'm stuck doing accounting. :(

There is no reward without risk. If location is a problem, change your location.
I'm from DC and never had any money to move...just did it. Moved to SanFrancisco without a place to live or knowing anybody there. I lived in the YMCA in San Francisco's Tenderlion (AIDS alley) sharing a bathroom with some of the grosses people on the planet for a month before finding an apartment.
It was right after the move that I landed my first acting job... which of course was in NYC, so I had to move cross country again.
I'm still broke, still struggling... my family of 4 still llives in a 2 bedroomn apartment. I write at a desk in the middle of the living room with kids playing all around me and the television going most of the time. But I've never been "stuck" doing anything.
Not trying to be a dick, just trying to inspire.:D
