Judging by the quality of his writing, I’m going assume he felt it like a calling, stronger than any other.

A. We currently have worse income inequality than in the Gilded Age. It's so bad, we have terms like The 99 Percent to describe the poverty and disempowerment of the vast majority of people.

So there's really no place to go. There are no safe harbors.

B. I left a corporate job in part because I was having nightmares that I was on a sinking ship. I've done freelance work and similar since then.

All things considered, I feel like I made the best choices available to me. But see A above. I'm still not rolling in dough, though I'm no longer homeless.

Go, me.

What else can he do? There's not many high demand industries.
