I’m a Thai actor. I can’t speak for all actors, but I get paid ~250k baht per episode for a lakorn (TV drama). A typical lakorn has ~15 episodes. I usually do 1 per year. Add to that the salary I get from the TV network to stay with them.

      Ped psych rn, getting my bachelor’s. $86k for 36hrs a week at a low acuity pediatric suds facility in the Midwest. It’s a therapy led facility, and the therapists got pissed when they realized I make more than them, so they had a riot and now I’m forced to lead therapeutic groups because their caseload of 3.5 kids is “unmanageable” 🙄

        I’m paid $60k/year, have a caseload of 70 for 35 hours/week work, and work conditions force me to work 50 hours/week to complete my duties, no additional pay, overtime LOL.

        We are not the same.
