"The money is nice but an honest approach gives me just as much of a rewarding feeling."

Truth. It gives you more freedom too. I quit school because I was tired of writing things I didn't believe or care about. I had to act like I was super interested in authors I hated and pad two pages of content with six or seven of bullshit to meet the minimum and get my A. I am much happier writing about my weird and off-putting opinions even if they aren't making me rich.
