Do you believe all the actors and crew who work on the movie Rust enjoyed the location, the long hours and believed it was safe. The contract does pay a decent wage just because of the conditions and these are more or less freelance jobs. The filming is over, and you again are unemployed.

If it is so hard, they should quit and obtained jobs in other industries.
