how much of the £500 do they really get to hold in their hot little hands? I bet it's not much more than £250/300 and if they're only getting a couple of jobs a week... one hell of a precarious existence.”
Haha I work 8-4, I wasn't skiving
But yeah you're right, I suppose tax/fees etc would bring it down a lot and considering it's not regular work, it may have to last some guests a while if they've not much else going on.
Although I've always wondered why z listers have agents at all. Surely if they booked themselves and spoke to producers etc they could arrange a dedent fee without the pain of having to go through an agent.
