Some do. Though in my case, after all my hard work persisting at what I do best, photography, writing, social systems analysis, work that nobody will hire me for, because I’m not also proficient in Photoshop, or Microsoft Office, or possess a MSW degree (read: fit into their job description for hiring) My plan C is to leave a legacy. Maybe then the world will catch up to what I’ve been trying to teach all along.
And no, I am not looking for a sugar daddy, but I’ve had it with partners I don’t want to be a burden to, who slowly sit back and suggest projects to do with my money, projects that further their agendas, like the house, landscaping, things that I eventually have to leave behind. After giving it a real royal try, of course.
