Where we're going, we don't need roads.

While I cannot possibly look into the future, I think I can almost safely say there is a non-profit future in store for me. I just looked up the average salary of a journalist in the US, and it was something like 20k to 60k per year. I checked with an American. That is not a lot to survive on. And now the American is rambling on about retirement funds... My sheltered mind does not understand.

I am a privileged person who wants to write and save the world through my writing. It is a known fact that writers don't earn very much. The reason I am able to be so passionate about writing and saving the world is because I've never had to worry about money. The irony.

Of course I am a materialistic little cunt right now. I am freeloading off my parents' money. When better to do it? In years to come, when I am living off my measly writer wages, having to worry about rent and bills and eating scraps off the ground... I don't know what's going to happen. I could soldier on, surviving on passion, or I could give in to the corporate soul.

But for now, while I am safe and secure, feeding off the umbilical cord off my parents' bank account, I am going to do my little bit of writing here, and saving the world.
