I was trying to say too low in a creative fashion... I think its a shame to spend as much as a doctor on a specialized skill and still make less than a manager at a fast food joint (first and in many cases second year). I know its "paying dues" but when you can qualify for food stamps I think its a bit much.. Hopefully rock bottom truly has passed and wages/benefits/ the industry in general will rise to a level worthy of the dues put in.
