If your child had just graduated from college and wanted to pursue a career as an artist (or actor, musician, something like that) and to date had earned just $1,000 from her creative output, would you encourage her to continue?
On the Aug 23, 2015 edition of Work with Marty Nemko, my wife Barbara Nemko and I will have a switch-sides-in-the middle debate on that.
And in the second part of the show, you can call in with your work conundrum. I can usually help. I call those Workovers, no pummeling involved.
Work with Marty Nemko is heard every Sunday from 11 AM to noon on 91.7 FM and is archived for a week on NPR.org and iTunes, and in perpetuity here on KALW.org.
