I knew it was bad for art people when, as an architect, I showed my employment letter to the woman at the MoMA to get my creative workers’ membership discount and she gasped: “wow, you guys make all THAT coming right out of school?” And I was thinking “this big ‘ol salary nets me two roommates in Flatbush (at the time) and the interest payment on my student loans…god only knows what they’re paying you lol.”
