“Oh sorry Wolfgang, it looks as though you can’t make a decent living with your music, maybe you should become an accountant.”

“The same goes for you and your painting, Vincent!”

If Mozart and Van Gogh sucked, this would be good advice. Reality is harsh. In a world where funding could get the likes of Mozart and Van Gogh off the ground, I suspect they could make a good living on their own, and your hypothetical scenario (which was obviously not the one I was proposing) would not come to pass.

In any job market where the supply exceeds the demand, the reality is you have to weed out the ones who don’t excel at it, somehow.
