Is a manager necessary?

Representation?
“I’m 16 and in the middle of my performing arts course. I have experience in entertainment as I currently have a job as a part time kids entertainer. Is there any way I can get acting work now or do I wait until I’ve gotten professional training? Would I be able to find an agent willing to represent me?” —happyactorgirl
