Not selfish, that's your choice.

I offer plenty of negative feedback about this industry but that's because there are simply many negatives that folks need to be aware of (the positives are usually obvious, and much exaggerated). I've always maintained that this is a great career for childless bohemians (which could have been me in another life).
