paycheck and health insurance. If you're healthy and it's just you do what you want but if you have a family to support or health issues...

Also, it's really rare to get where you wanna be by the first step. For me to get where I wanna be, I need to get experience working with something that this comic describes perfectly. It's not that I'm not trying to get my dreamjob, but rather the opposite.

And it is wonderful, life is great, the world is great, my friends are great, get up, pull your finger out and try, then you too will also find it is great

I disagree, my brother does what he wants it has taken him years to get there, and a family with 5 children. His circumstances didn't allow so he put in effort and changed his circumstances, ok the change was hard work and the effort required was a lot, but he never let his family suffer and he got there. My sister suffers from massive health issues which I am not prepared to go into online with a stranger, but that does not stop her for achieving what she wants to do with her life, and hospitals, halfway houses and care services have hindered her every step but she has made it work for her and doesn't spend a single working day doing something she doesn't want to. Sounds to me like your too eager to make an excuse and give up. I come from a family who had nothing no millions, a heavy mortgage over our heads on our house both parents working more than 12 hours a day and more than 6 days a week to provide. So I was by no means privileged during child hood.
