    This kind of struck me:

    "As opportunities and incomes dwindle, Gen X-ers in creative fields are weighing their options. Move to a lower-cost place and remain committed to the work you love? Look for a bland corporate job that might provide health insurance and a steady paycheck until retirement?"

    Like a bland corporate job is a bad thing, and somehow selling out?

    • Most people have a bland job in the first place. You're talented and lucky if you get one. Not every creative independent is good at what they do.bainbridge
    • I choose bland corporate until retirementmaquito

    • I'd take bland corp and insurance. Plenty of side projects to have creative freedom on, whether music, art, or web design projects.mg33
    • boring/secure/well-c... sellout jobs are the best. they allow you to live your life outside of workmxhxr
