            1. Reading a lot of shitty journalism salaries tweets. It's prob worth noting that I loved being on the pure writing side of journalism and maybe I could have pulled it off as a long term career and maybe I couldn't have, but the reason I didn't try was b/c the pay was unsurvivable.

            I didn't have the financial support to live on the salaries being provided in 2010 and I sure as hell couldn't now looking at these tweets and it pisses me off how many of my peers were great journalists forced to make the same call.

          Of the generation of great journalists who I came up with in college the number who remain as full time journalists is countable on one hand.

        The most depressing thing about journalism salary tweets is for every person who spent years getting paid 30k there are dozens of really excellent journalists who could have been doing great work but made the understandable call to prioritize their financial & mental wellbeing

      Because make no mistake, all the people who stick with it through that type of financial hardship, the type that comes of getting paid ~30k in the 2010s to struggle for unstable jobs at uncaring companies, they do so at a cost to themselves. It's bullshit that's how this works.

    I am very cognizant of the great fortune I have to have a good job, in a good company in the media, one that values the ethical path, especially to be able to stick it out in media and in the journalism industry, which is where my personal passions are...

      And to be able to do so on the side of things where, when things work out right, I might have some small impact on being able to assure that the industry as a whole might do a less shit job of paying its employees. I do miss the writing side some days though.
