14. Well, I can't get a steady job because I have "too much experience" - cost too much.

I do okay with temporary gigs, but I would really prefer a full-time job. The problem is that I'm in the $100K+ range by experience and the companies are all looking for $30K workers. They know I'm over-qualified. I get contract work through connections. I'd really like a steady job. And fuck the 30K workers. I can do more work in a day than fifteen of them (no slight intended toward the younger crowd, but it's true). That's not how the bean counters think. They don't know shit about the profession. It's like a priest running a whore house - no clue.

On Edit: Alter boys don't count.
