When you spend 10 years of your life working towards a dream career, only to find that the pay is no longer survivable.

I began working towards a career in literature when I was 14. I was inspired by stories of journalists and fantasy book authors living in luxury, but now at 24, any writing based job I locate pays less than Walmart does. And Walmart only pays 13 an hour. I feel bad for kids, being told they can be anything they want when they grow up but not telling them that they will probably be homeless on that paycheck. Now I'm stuck in a customer service job full of customers who are excessively mean being paid less than a McDonald's worker. What went wrong? Why do we get lives of poverty and suffering no matter how hard we work?
