The acting career is kind of bad..
Specifically, the pay. I know that a lot of people don't want easy money, but it absolutely SHOULD be easy money for a 5 star actor. 6-7k a gig isn't fun when you can only do it 2 days a week at best...

Yeah, the pay is horrendous, and Negotiating a Bonus (Lv10 Charisma interaction on the phone) doesn't work properly. (Increases work performance bar, but doesn't give the bonus money, even though it says it does)
Also I hear that Elders that retired from the Acting career don't get the pensions/retirement pay that other retirees get.
Ironically, being a super-famous Actor is one of the worst-paying careers in the game so far.
Really, you should be able to work more often, too.
Especially with that one Fame Perk that lets you skip Auditions, it doesn't let you work any sooner, it just replaces the day you have to spend auditioning with a blank nothing day of just waiting.
I wish it was like freelance work, where you could go to work ASAP, if you wanted.
Like without the audition skip perk it could be:
1) Pass Audition
2) Chat With Director
3) Go to Work
And with the perk it'd just be:
1) Chat With Director
2) Go to Work
In this case the "Chat With Director" part would just be like an explanation as to how everyone else is ready when your Sim is, rather than just magically having everything ready, I suppose.
Just being able to work MORE OFTEN would do wonders for this careers horrible paygrade.
