Acting vs coast guard

There is no guarantee at all that I will get into either one. I also failed the asvab twice before when I was attending HS. I recently talked to a recruiter for coast guard but on the same day got called for Actors casting. This is a well known casting agency too. Which should I go for? Acting or Coast guard?

    I got $20 that says you are either unemployed or working at McDonald's in 6 months.

    To be a working actor one needs talent, a good memory and to be easy to work with.
    To work for the CG you have to be able to follow orders and not much more. But like any other service today, there are plenty of applicants, so they only need to take the best.
    Neither occupation is an easy way out of your present circumstances.

    My word. I thought anyone could pass the ASVAB. It was just that the better you did, the more opportunities you had. If you failed it twice, what makes you think you could get into the Coast Guard? You might as well give acting a shot. Because I don't think you could make it at McDonalds either. If they get that minimum wage raised to 15.00 an hour, you will need a college degree to work there. Well I take that back, if the minimum wage gets raised to 15 dollars, most of those places will go out of business because no one could afford a $50.00 BigMac. That is what they will cost just to cover the labor overhead costs.
