I currently don't have any other offers at the moment. However, I am still waiting to hear back from several production companies (out of state).

I see your point, but I only have $500 left at the bank. I don't have any debt, though...
I do need a job soon. I've put off finding a job outside my field as long as I could.

I realize that. One of my friends is a photog at a cruise ship. He is a real still photographer though. He was shooting College Football the last time I did an ESPN gig.
He does say it's like college all over again after your shift ends...Could be fun.
