Amanda Bynes with her mother Lynn Bynes
Amanda Bynes wants to be a bartender.
The troubled actress, who was recently released from a psychiatric hospital for the second time, has reportedly told friends she thinks working in a bar will help her feel like she has "a normal life."
A source said the 28-year-old actress is aware that it will difficult for her to serve drinks because of the amount of attention she attracts, but claims she really needs the money as she is unable to access her $5.7 million fortune because of her conservatorship.
The 'Easy A' star, whose mother Lynn Bynes has legal control to make decisions about her welfare and finances, is currently surviving on gift cards of between $50 and $100 a day, according to gossip website TMZ.com.
Amanda was caught sleeping on a sofa in a Beverly Hills shopping mall in California earlier this week and claimed on Twitter she couldn't afford a hotel because her parents wouldn't give her enough money.
Amanda's conservatorship attorney David Esquibias recently revealed her financial affairs are to be put in the charge of an unnamed private trust firm, in order to make them more accessible to the actress, amid rumours her mother wants to step down as her conservator so they can rebuild their relationship.
