> a lot of people here really DO think those people who go into journalism/art/music are stupid because they're not working in more lucrative fields.

I don’t think they are stupid as people have interests and there’s many reasons to pursue a career other than money.

I just think they are stupid when they complain about how they don’t make a higher income in these fields. The income potential of these fields is known, so complaining about this, once in the field, is really just an irrational thing.
