Your rebuttals to artds are excellent. Artds attempts to sound knowledgable, empathetic, and compassionate while artds' underlying point is 'screw you all who are beneath me' - shame on you for expecting to make a decent living no matter what work you're doing. Like a college education nowadays will get you anywhere. Novine, you said it best in emphasizing that no one is immune to job, work, career displacement. Except of course, the rich, executives and politicians.
