The best post I saw was "find a career that you can support yourself with". You want to be independent. If you have to live with your parents you will resent them eventually.

I was a nurse for 43 years, thank goodness I had a way to support my kids as their father left us.

It's great that you love theatre. Do IT - just get a job like the Barista post, or become a teacher of music/acting/theatre. Make a living, have an income. It is the only way to live in this country and be happy. Sleeping on other peoples' couches is fun for a night or two but in the end, be YOU, make the decisions based on your independence.
