Jody Mckeegan/Hollywood

On chapter ten this passage referring to the Hollywood lifestyle as survival of the fittest. men and women wanting to actors or actresses. finding anyway and anyhow. One example that exemplifies this is when Lindy wanted to plan a career right away and Quentin tells her " Don't think about those things yet". Sort of you cant doing attitude. People left behind their education to the side in search of fortune, fame, glory and star status. Also wanting to get away from where she from, lindy was to find her way in the world, to search what she is looking for. My question is how will lindy find her way without a education or a skill to back her up?
