Why? If I was really passionate about something, I would not mind low pay. For me, the blocker is that I'm not quite so passionate about anything. I suspect a lot of people think they're passionate about games but really are just addicted.
- awesomeMilou 3y agoCongratulations, you just lowered wages for everyone involved across the board.
- resonious 3y agoI'm happy because I got the job!
- steveBK123 3y agoThis is the classic problem for photography for example, which is a hobby of mine. You see a lot of hobbyists elbow into paid work, to the detriment of people actually making a living of it. It puts a ceiling on what people are willing to pay for the typical work - engagement, wedding, headshot photography for example. Photojournalism is a bit of a weird case because, in my opinion at least, its always been populated by nepobabies and other sorts who weren't commanding proper living wages because they didn't really have to.
