This is someone's list of 20 Things To Never Say To People In Creative Fields. A lot of them are variations on "What you do is not a real job" or "Will you work for free?"
I actually don't mind #19: "It Must Be Fun To Just Do That All Day." The compiler of the list says, "While [it]…might look like all-day play, it gets just as tedious and is as much of a grind as anything else." I don't feel that way. I enjoy what I do. At times, it's very hard work but, you know, I picked this for a profession because I knew it wouldn't be just as tedious and as much of a grind as anything else I might do.
I'll tell you one that isn't on the list that does bug me: "Hey, I could use some extra money. How do I get into doing that?"
