Let me know what kinds of positions you think I should apply to. -past five years I have been acting&#x2F;performing&#x2F;auditioning -during this time I have been substitute teaching for public schools during the school year full time -I have a B.S. in Computer Engineering from Villanova -heres my linkedin if you want a better picture of my background: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.linkedin.com&#x2F;in&#x2F;jonathan-justin-1a2b595a&#x2F;<p>I have decided this summer to make a career switch to something much more stable. Acting for five years has led to an tough financial situation. I am looking for opportunities&#x2F;positions that might be a good idea for me to apply to now.
