Well it's essentially the same problem for actions. The dream appeals to many, but the work is only available for a smaller number. The result is a lot of struggling actors competing for the same work. The same goes for the vast array of courses in translation, film-making, forensic science, creative writing, game design or any number of appealing careers. There are always going to be more people wanting to do these jobs than there are positions available and educational institutions have no problem taking their money.
