Okay, so I work in the culture industry. Well, something to do with culture anyway. I always feel a little bit inferior to my friends who are social workers working with the most difficult of our fellow citizens, my friends who work for the emergency services, those who cook for a living, or produce web designs, etc. They might not be that well paid, but they can proclaim their professions at parties with pride, whereas I’m always just a little diffident.
Still, I used to be a music and arts journalist, so at least I’m doing something a little more relevant/helpful to society. And at least I’m not a politician.
