Look, our line of work is not for everyone. It guarantees a lot more immediate stress on a daily basis than almost any career, no vacations, holiday work, dealing with drunks and [expletive], no health insurance, and a whole lot of flirtation and messing around with random women and drunk, emotionally troubled hot co-workers.

They can study Art History and Criticism because they don't need to have a job after school. (Trust funds, son.)

Like the people in Portland who all open up bike shops, coffee shops, and art galleries that aren't profitable? Wait, don't these people protest for the 99%?

So do Warren Buffet and Bill Gates. Having money != favoring economic policy that is solely personally beneficial

Oh I agree, it's just the trust fund babies who don't know what a dollar is worth and haven't worked a day in their lives hurt the cause.

They open up a bike/coffee shop but don't work?

Awfully big assumption that they aren't profitable as well.

Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life etc. etc. (as in never having to spend a summer throwing boxes for Fedex/UPS, or Christmas working at Macy's, etc.)

And as bloated as the market is up there for all of those things, profitability is doubtful for a good portion of them. I'm just going based on what I've heard from others that have spent time there.
