Page "Celebrity" Paragraph 20

Less than 1 % of all runway models are known to make more than $ 1000 dollars USD for every fashion showcase.

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics the median wage for commercial and print models was only $ 11. 22 per hour in 2006.

Most models only draw in around $ 500 USD every showcase and only famous models that are high in demand such as Miranda Kerr or Gisele Bündchen earn multi-million dollar salaries.

Freelance writers and authors who aspire to be the next Stephen King and Dan Brown are known to submit manuscripts of their latest literary creations hoping for their big break are only to be bombarded with numerous rejection letters from major publishing houses.

Many aspiring comedians who dream of becoming the next Russell Peters and Jerry Seinfeld never see the inside of a movie or television studio, but rather spend most of their careers doing stand-up in comedy clubs and other small venues, hoping to be discovered.

Because gigs can be infrequent, it can be very difficult to make a living as a freelance entertainer.

As a result, many supplement their income by holding down other jobs on the side.
