I don't think this is a uncommon issue at all.
Predominantly, I think it's a pressure we all feel, to varying, greater, and lesser degrees.
Principally, the issue is that of having both talent and skill, but also the lack of financial stability.
But, more so than anything else, despite the financial motives, is the want to interact.
Sure, it'll make you money, but talking with people is FUN.
And especially if it makes you money!
So I'm antsy to interact and talk with people, for a variety of reasons! ;)
