Yes it’s an arts degree, and yes the arts are in dire straits right now, but uhhh I at least feel fulfilled having tried to make the most of my passion— which I recognize doesn’t pay the bills, but made me feel validated and boosted my self-esteem, which I don’t think any job would’ve ever done for me nearly as much.

…so anyways, how’s that reset going, is your machine back up and running? Great. Thanks for calling tech support have a nice day.

Just wanting to point out the irony of making fun of artists' life choices… below a comic.

Sorry, I should clarify those were my own choices I was referring to. I’m the one who has a film degree and now works in tech support.

I meant to be empathizing more than making fun of op.

I think anyone not looking for reasons to be angry could read you were speaking about yourself, don't mind them!
