One thing I did not mention that if your parents instilled a no pain no gain mentality into you, then you feel like if you are enjoying yourself and doing something you like, you are not gaining anything, you are using up capital, wasting time and you feel you cannot possibly get paid for it in the long run.
No, I don’t see it is the case. It could be an underestimation of skill, or the underestimation of the environment’s suitability for that skill. And the instilled mentality has absolutely nothing to do with skill, it just makes one kind of puritanical.
I don’t buy the premise that a “clear job and career” promise is needed for anything.
