Fomalhaut has a declination of almost -30° (30° south), so it can be seen - at least in theory - at latitude 60° north, or anywhere south of that.

How do you calculate whether a star is visible for a given latitude or not?

The basic rule of thumb is that if your latitude and the star's declination are less than 75 degrees apart, the star will be visible for at least part of the year. Why 75 degrees and not 90 degrees? Well, on a theoretical spherical world without any atmospheric distortions, that would be correct. But the Earth isn't spherical; it has these bumps called "mountains", and a thick atmosphere that obscures low-elevation stars, and it can be worse if there is any light pollution on the horizon. (This is one of the reasons why astronomical observatories are generally built on mountain tops away from city lights.) Against a dark sky and a sea horizon, you would probably be safe calculating to an 85 degree difference, but only if it were a bright star. I live near Sacramento, CA, at about 38N. So any star in the northern half of the sky is certainly visible. Going by my 75 degree rule, I ought to be able to see stars that are as far south as 37S declination, which you can look up in the Nautical Almanac or online. (See the link below, and look for the "Stars" column in the center column for declinations.) So, I ought to be able to see the star Fomalhaut at 29.S, but not Alpha Centauri at 61S. However, from my house I would not be able to see Fomalhaut - because the city lights and tall trees to the south would probably block my view. If I really wanted to see Fomalhaut, I'd need to drive down into the farmlands south of town where I would have an unobstructed view.

What is the job market for acting?

yes acting is hard, if we are talking about the good acting (well yes its hard), but if we are talking about the sloopy acting of course its easy. for acting you have to have a lot of concentration and you have to know a lot of basic things that most of the people that take classes of acting and that they are professional actors do bnot know. some of you people wont know what blocking a scene is, or maybe you guys dont know that you have to mantaing a balance on scene, also you have to know about diction and other stuff to, acting is not all about you learn your lines you do your part good and evreybody gives you a round of applusse. no an actor is much more thatn that. i know cause i am an actor and most of the people that i know that call themselves actor do not know some of thoose basic stuff.
