ROFL. Something tells me you're just a little bitter that you're not as good at cosplaying (whether that is just being artistic, or sewing, or whatever) as you want to be. Maybe you just don't have the guts to cosplay? Or you're too shy?
Let me tell you something. Everyone in my cosplay group has graduated from college and most of our group makes around 60k a year (we're all only in our mid-20s so you know, that number will only go up from there).
To address the picture in your secret, that gal is cosplaying a videogame character. All but two of our cosplay group works in the videogame industry, and even the other two (I am one of those) have done work in that industry at one time or another.
I don't know which part of the industry you're in (anime or video game), but you must be working with a bunch of assholes because most the people I know in the game industry think cosplay is pretty cool.
Of course, like you, we put our money toward our education before we did much hard core cosplay, (and I commend you for doing that because that takes a lot of dedication, good for you ^_^) but now we have money and we like to spend our time doing something fun and creative.
Unlike you, we're not condescending and judgemental, and we have lots of fun using our hard earned money (from, you know, our careers... you know the jobs we got with our education) and traveling out of state going to other cons, cosplaying, and seeing new places.
I love my friends. I love cosplaying. And nothing you say is going to change that. I just think it's sad that you feel the way you do.
