If You Don't Click on This Story, I Don't Get Paid

quote [ Over the course of the last three months, I have interviewed more than twenty writers, editors, media people, and journalism professors about the state of being a freelance writer in 2015. The general consensus is that it’s the best time since the very early days of the web to make money by writing online, and a marked improvement from even two years ago. ]

Just skimmed over this but the concluding sentence says all that needs to be said:
Mary H.K. Choi has a suggestion: “Nobody become a writer unless your side hustle is finance or your parents are rich.”
Or basically, if you're going to pursue any kind of career in the creative arts do not assume you'll make money doing it, or at least be prepared to do some kind of day job to survive. The upside is the life experience of doing something other than writing/creating might just make for more interesting output.
