No offense, but this isn't about you. This is about people who are fully-qualified and experienced professionals, who you'd expect to be doing very nicely thank you, who are in fact almost as fucked as everyone else. That's kind of the point the article is making - there's an increasing amount of financial difficulty in the places you wouldn't expect to see it, as well as in the places where it's perhaps less surprising.

Not that experienced office workers should be paid below the break-even point either, but that's not the subject under discussion here.
