Why Do We Do It?

Miserable pay, constant rejection, insufficient feedback on your work, nit-picky "bosses" giving out vague and unwieldy requirements...in any other profession, a company would go out of business because their "employees" would riot and/or find somewhere else to work.

With writing, though, it's the common accepted practice...

I'm not sure why writers put up with it, either...perhaps we're all a bunch of masochists?
