Mostly the lack of free time. My weekends and evenings are often not mine to keep. I don’t make enough to buy a place closer to the city so I endure a long commute. Between that and chores I barely have enough time to do anything.

Is our industry as competitive as some say? I see a lot of people saying this and I work with a bunch of hacks (myself included). It felt like a little while ago agencies were begging to hire new talent, and most couldn’t find new people. Is it really that hard to get a job at an agency? Maybe I’m just out of touch being in this career for so long.
