thank you for sharing this. i want to be a journalist, and i keep getting pitying looks from people when i tell them. they ask if i know how bad the pay is, if i took that into account before getting into an expensive university for a low-paid job. it's maddening. reading this wasn't. i don't know, maybe it's because of how you did this for yourself, because you didn't try to change anyone's mind about anything. i'm rambling, but i had to tell you

thank you for sharing, and I'm sorry about those pitying looks. even though I'm headed in the opposite direction to you, solidarity nevertheless — it's hard out there
