Coming from both entertainment and computers as well, if you want stability stick with the latter.

Acting can be far more rewarding, and ofc just like computers there’s a global elite that makes millions. But computers has more opportunity for higher pay in the middle ground, and has stability and consistency.

And they’re 100% correct! Only the best in the world can float internationally in acting, and China is a completely segregated market due to government propaganda having a choke hold on content (Did you know too gun maverick had the Taiwan flag digitally removed from mavericks jacket for Chinese censors?). Your Chinese chops mean nothing internationally, unfortunately.
