Your one big assumption OP

[(Anonymous)]

Is that writing is any kind of lucrative/bill-paying job anymore. Even back in the days of the penny-a-word magazines (looooooooong before the Internet), it was hard to make a living at it. Nowadays it seems to me that there are a lot of semi-pros and a very small list of pros left, who MIGHT get a decent living wage out of publisher's advances and the like. (The vast majority of the semi-pros do not, and rely on grants, and other sponsorships, more than actual contracts.)

A lot of people do have to actually work for a living. Telling someone who has delusions of "I'm going to give it my all and support myself with my writing!" that they can actually do that, short of miraculous serendipity (which is how any published writer gets paid, regardless of the quality of their writing), may very well lead the wrong people down the wrong path.
