Turning down work... can I afford to have principles?

I just turned down a PA job offer from a feature that's coming to Boston because they were hiring in the production office. I told them I was specifically interested in post-production or the art dept., but not too keen on the production office.

For anyone who hasworked in or known people who work in the production office, you know what they're lives are like... hellish and non-existant. God bless them. I feel bad about it because I complain about being out of cash a lot, but I guess I need to figure out if I can afford princples or not. That being said, working in the production office would mean making mininum wage to do shit that won't necesarily lead anywhere. This would have been my third feature film, but this time around, "at least I'm working in my field" won't work... eh... I guess its hard to feel bad for me when others don't have a job.

But I just made room for someone else who is eager to please to take my place, so turn my stupidity into an opportunity!

I assumed from the headline that you were an actor who'd turned down a lousy script on the theory that no work is better than working on something s**tty. Same idea, though, I guess.

Principle is tough. Kudos for sticking to your guns!
