I’m a Thai actor. I can’t speak for all actors, but I get paid ~250k baht per episode for a lakorn (TV drama). A typical lakorn has ~15 episodes. I usually do 1 per year. Add to that the salary I get from the TV network to stay with them.

    Used to make $80k a year (before taxes) as Co-Lead of a Data Analytics department.

    Managed databases, did analytics (regular, structured and custom one off SQL queries), reporting, general software development (basically my team and IT, 2 or 3 people, were the only people in the whole org more computer literate than ‘can respond to an email, maybe’), API construction/management, process documentation, coordinated with every other team.

    I enjoyed the work, loved my team, though the technical and general incompetence of many other employees was challenging to deal with.

    As an example:

    In doing process documentation with one team, I interviewed 5 different people on that other team, including their lead, and all of them described completely different processes with maybe 20% agreement…

    But, then I got assaulted, crippled, lost my job, got evicted, car got stolen, eventually got SSDI payments to kick in after spending a year homeless (my family are abusive and dysfunctional, my ‘friends’ didn’t care) and now live off of about $22k a year, still recovering, still doing PT.

    If Elon and Trump gut Social Security, I’ll die homeless and starving.

    The place I used to work at was a non profit housing and aiding the homeless, by the way.

    Go Team America.
