Question by Eric S: Rather be a starving artist or a wealthy corporate consultant?
If you choose starving artist, you can live in camgrounds and hitch trains across the world and paint and sing and dance and cry and love life and eat sunflower seeds and dye your hair green, make music, just you will have to work a lot of shifts and volunteer everywhere.
If you choose wealthy corporate consultant. There are rules. You must report to work in the company office Monday-Friday, 7AM to 9pm. You will be very busy, you must wear a leather jacket and have a fine brief case. You must act professional. You must be clean cut or your clients will notice, and if you slack off you will be out the door.
You will earn $ 95,000/year, you will be playing catch-up on almost every weekend including week days. And in spare time you will have to invest social time to colleagues, which means you will have to buy them drinks at bars…..we’re talking $ 400 dollars worth of drinks. To fit the mold, you will need to live near the office, and your home will be visited by clients and must appeal to the corporate culture as well. It will be a king-size bed however, expensive furniture, fine linens.
Which do you choose? The Starving Artist or Wealthy Corporate Consultant?
In this exceptional scenario, I will add another rule to Wealthy Corporate Consultant.
if you are an EX-Wealthy Corporate Consultant (who slacks and gets laid off), you can NEVER become Starving Artist….the rule is you become overqualified for every job thereafter that the starving artist can use to work shift
