Yea. You're right.

I've tried to think of other ways to do this, while at the same time supporting my family, but the only thing I could think of was working for a church as some kind of teacher/preacher. But I'm not a big fan of religion. In my experience, most churches seem more interested in promoting division and separation than any kind of real unity.

So for the moment, I've been trying to brainstorm other ways of getting into a profession that is more aligned with my real interests and desires. But I always run into the financial block.

I have to support my family.
