Feeling the recession!

My agent seems to be pretty good; he's putting me forward for jobs quite regularly but I just don't get any auditions.  From chatting to others it seems that there is an awful lot of competition at the moment due to the excessive number of actors being churned out by the drama schools.  When I left school I wanted to be a surgeon (before that I was going to join the RAF and train as a pilot).  I applied to do A-Level Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Maths but was repeatedly told that my grades were not good enough - I went back to the drawing board and analysed what I was good at; re applied to college this time with Art, Drama & English Literature and was accepted on the courses straight away.  Don't get me wrong I do absolutely love acting, I just want to make the point that I'm not doing it for the love alone - I know that it's what I am good at and millions of people out there waiting for organ transplants can now breathe a sign of relief.  I always expected it to be tough and was ready for the rejection; what I wasn't ready for was not even to get many auditions in the first place.  It seems that it's a waiting game and contrary to the Oasis song 'Sally doesn't wait'!
