It's no longer "entertainment" when they do it for a living. There's a reason why it's called "grinding" on the ladder - it's not exactly fun anymore. You can already tell that Tasteless doesn't have the enthusiasm that he used to have for BW. Either way, it's not really feasible to quantify and compare the difficulty and exhaustion between your job and theirs. All I'm saying is, don't call "horseshit" and talk shit, when you seem to know nothing about their situation. Of course they 'might' have it easier than you, but there's no way of knowing that. I also got a laugh from your assumptive and prejudiced post.
I'm a law student, and I also do statistical analysis for a private hedge fund. There are days where I literally don't stop working/studying. Even then, I can empathize with the difficulty others' professions, and I never want to assume anything.

I'm in agreement with you, Qaataar. I wonder if this guy has ever faced the pressure of being on the spot for five hours a day? Working in an office environment is easy as hell. You don't have to intensively focus on the task at hand if you become tired. You can allow your mind to drift, go for water at the cooler, take a 15 minute break. I've done it, and it's nothing compared to having to talk for several hours straight. I sometimes tutor for 6 hours a day at 60 dollars an hour. The pressure to perform, say insightful things, and keep my expectant students entertained exhausts me. And that's in front of three different people. I can't imagine having to do it in front of 10s of thousands. Much respect to Artosis and Tasteless.
EDIT: That he thinks their job is easy is a testament to how effortless they make their job look. Work hard and say it's easy.
