most literary lifestyle is sitting at home trying to write a follow up to your mildly succesful book while your fashion designer wife is the breadwinner.
BONUS POINTS: you fuck one of the models at her fashion show and both you and her know you cheat on her but she doesn't care because she likes the idea of being married to a writer

Psychologist maybe, but you'd have to be careful to not be a pseud as many shrinks are and no one on /lit/ is.

I am reminded again of poor Sigmund Freud. He was waiting in his office for a rich, and of course Jewish, patient. How can you be rich without being a Jew? And psychoanalysis is the greatest business that any Jew ever founded. They missed Jesus, they could not afford to miss Sigmund Freud. Of course he is no comparison.

Freud was waiting and waiting, walking up and down in his room. The patient was really rich, and psychoanalysis is treatment which goes on for years, unless the patient finds a far more articulate Jew; but he never gets out of the vicious circle.

Freud looked again and again at his gold watch, and then at the last moment, when he was really thinking of giving up, the patient appeared. His big car appeared on the horizon, and Freud was, of course, furious. Finally the car came to his porch, the Jew got out, and when he entered the office Sigmund Freud was really angry because he was fifty seconds late.

Freud said, "It's good that I heard your car at the porch at the right time, otherwise I was going to begin the session alone."

It is a professional joke. Only those who are in the profession of psychoanalysis will understand it. I will have to explain it to you because none of you is a psychoanalyst. The joke is that Freud said, "I would have started even without you" - without the patient. Do you see the point? Let me be clearer, the joke has to be put aside. At a certain point, I have to begin.

Exactly at the time to say okay, I'll say it, and not like Sigmund Freud, fully knowing the joke. Still, I cannot disappoint you. This is only an introductory note; now we take up the unending story.

Studying Psych and it's filled with pseuds. The lecturers are characitures of the s*yboy wojack, the students are uppity middle-upper class kids desperate to get offended (mostly women of course, big surprise). The teachings are overtly politically influenced, decrying lobotomies and the sexism of psychoanalysis, all the while disparaging so called "schizophrenics" (which history evidences to be a mainly political label) and making sure to be nice to the new wave of transvestites.

It certainly can be a lit career, but good luck wading through the shit slurry that is the degree you must obtain first.
