As opposed to a NASA astronaut, who must spend his or her days laboring under the regulations of the US Government, and whose sole income depends on the whims of its gigantic monopoly.
- mochomocha 7y agoSo you're comparing the income stability of a "government type" job to the high-volatility of advertising dollars coming from the quickly moving trends of online platforms?
