True.

I consider myself so very fortunate to have worked 40 years in a dream job 
that gave me creative satisfaction,  paid decently, and provided me with a 
comfortable retirement.

Not all my photographer friends have fared as well.

I don't think I'd want to be coming into the profession these days.
