Here’s my plan: I want to be practical. I want to work in the writing/photography/graphics field, but my background is in banking/economics/finance. I need to be completely honest with myself, but I’m torn. Do I make the risky choice or the safe choice? Tell me– What should I do?
Don’t compromise yourself. You are all you’ve got.
Quotation from Janis Joplin
I have been struggling for many years in pursuit of a career in opera and am finding that it’s the people who have money behind them who are getting places, whether or not they have the best voices… So, yes, I’d marry for money at this point. After all, having the career would make me happy.

While $1 million or $2 million may sound like a lot to people making $30,000, it’s hardly enough to transform someone’s life or make them “rich” by contemporary billionaire standards.
Quotation from Robert Frank, Marrying for Love of Money
This is a no brainer, Sera. Seriously, follow your heart’s desire, for there is where happiness and fulfillment awaits. Yes?
$30,000 sounds like a lot to me, let alone $1 million. I was out of work for too long.
That said, I have a friend who’s living on a fraction of that quite happily, because she had cancer not too long ago and decided she was going to do what she wanted (break ties with her big responsibilities, sell her possessions, and go act/direct/stage manage) instead of what everyone expected of her. I wish I were that fearless.
I like being an auctioneer. I like writing more, but writing doesn’t pay my bills… Not yet and maybe not ever. The point is that when we’re kids, we’re told to follow our hearts. That’s wonderful and that’s bullshit all at the same time. Bills keep coming and they need to get paid. Being miserable in job is not fun, but what’s worse is not being able to keep the lights on and food in the fridge.
But hey, what are you worried about? Before Obamacare passed, Nancy Pelosi told everyone who’s an artist that they’ll be able to quit their day jobs and pursue their dreams because they’ll have health care. Really, she said that.
Throughout this grand design of things you actually secure a B+ just for effort and hard work. Exactly where you misplaced everybody was first on all the particulars. You know, people say, the devil is in the details… And it couldn’t be much more true in this article. Having said that, allow me reveal to you what exactly did do the job. Your text is certainly pretty engaging which is most likely the reason why I am making the effort in order to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, despite the fact that I can certainly notice the jumps in logic you come up with, I am not sure of exactly how you seem to unite your ideas which help to make the conclusion. For right now I will subscribe to your issue but wish in the future you link the dots better.
