[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those circles can make you insane - I also took a publishing/creative job just out of college in NYC, and I had to live with my parents. I was lucky that my education had been paid for, but we weren’t rich rich, so that was the extent of my advantage at that time. I did work with people who showed up in the NYT fashion and social pages, and one receptionist was heard to say “this isn’t much of a job, but it’s a place to wear my day clothes”.

I did it for fun for a couple of years, but then I got my big girl job and focused on life security. I kind of get the article writer’s rage, but she also made really terrible choices.[/quote]

Agree and maybe this wasn’t clear to the author at first.  If you’re not from NY you might think many peers are scraping by on a similar level to you, and then it makes your own choice seem less crazy.  And by the time you get the MFA it’s late to pursue medical school or whatever and you have made this quite wrong turn into a career that was never going to be tenable but you didn’t realize it.  Sucks.  But what this author needed/still needs to do is probably get out.  [/quote]
