juggling 2 job options

I really wanna do acting as my job career but I'm currently doing maths, physics and computer science to also do something Engineering related in Uni. I have no idea how to juggle both. Any help/ideas?

Balancing a passion for acting with studies in maths, physics, and computer science is entirely possible with careful planning and focus. Explore local theatre groups, school drama clubs, or online acting workshops to gain experience without compromising your academic commitments. Use free time, like weekends or summer breaks, to participate in acting programs, and consider creating your own content, like short films or monologues, to showcase your talent. Engineering and computer science can even complement acting—fields like animation, CGI, and virtual production require technical knowledge and often overlap with the entertainment industry. Your analytical skills from these subjects can enhance problem-solving and adaptability in acting, while performing can improve confidence, communication, and presentation skills, which are valuable in technical fields. Keep exploring both paths to discover how they can enrich each other and keep your options open for the future.
