I once visited an advertising company and watched some of their artists at work. I was really impressed with how good they were. I then discovered they were making fairly low wages.
I told people what I made in TV production and got condolences.
The job itself was enjoyable but the office politics, top heavy PHB management, and comical pay with little real chance to move up made me give up professional poverty.
I appreciate people who can paint and draw well. My handwriting is typical left-handed epileptic arthritic chicken.
