DFW, Jonathan Franzen, the people who get pulitzers and such, appear in the New Yorker magazine and are read by middle aged liberal upper middle class cunts concerned with maintaining the appearance of sophistication

Why do people always make fun of stable careers?

That seems like a fairly nice existence

>>7475596
I don't know where you live that you think middle aged liberals hunker down with IJ and a mimosa, but I can tell you that, living in the liberal Paradiso that is the NYC metropolitan area, that doesn't happen.

Because of the current shift in what "happiness" is. While once it was stability and maintaining the status quo, it is now about personal fulfillment and living life authentically.

>>7475667
authenticism is overrated

You can live a beautiful life with a stable, unspectacular career, but realistically if you once had a shot at being a star and backed down from that or were otherwise prevented from making it big, it would be hard to never ever look back and wonder what if things went differently.

>Why do people always make fun of stable careers?
because deep down, they know that hedonism fails. but they do not know where to turn, so they grow resentment.

>>7476973
anyone who uses the "goy" meme should never ever be taken seriously. in fact, the moment I see it appear my interest in what that person has to say immediately vanishes

>>7477140
Yes goyim yes excellent

OH BOY

>>7475601
Personally I only make fun of people who have a job they don't love. Nothing wrong with a stable career if it's what you want to be doing.

Being the 71%, now that ridiculous.

>>7477170
It's far outside of falling for anything, it's more about my wish to avoid the kinds of people who find those things entertaining

>>7475609
You must be either poor or a transplant to the city. Are you? I have lived here among the wealthy since I was born and that is exactly what the liberal upper class does.
