"So...I see that you used to be a journalist. What's keeping you from leaving us if a perfect journalism job comes along?"
"Well, other than taking a 60 percent pay cut in a business that's dying..."
"But what if someone offered you that perfect job?"
(Always, always, ALWAYS asked by an interviewer who's a wannabe writer. S/he'd escape the moment that mythical "perfect job" came through, but since there's no market in Wesley/Worf slashfiction, s/he's standing back, getting more and more bitter about how everybody else is getting book and magazine deals.)
