Hey, my son and his girlfriend are in the industry, so I care about this (a little). She just got her first job with the title "writer" when the writers went out on strike (after working in writers' rooms with lesser titles and often being basically the coffee girl for years). He should actually have been on the studio side in the actor's strike since he's on track to get a producer role in the video-game industry, but he was supporting the actors anyway.
