Passage Summary: The author argues that you shouldn't become an artist because people's personal opinions determine how much you get paid, which the author thinks is an unacceptable way to earn a living.

Conclusion: Individuals should avoid pursuing a career in art.

Reasoning: Artist compensation is based on the subjective opinions of others, and it is inherently wrong for one's income to be determined by such subjective measures.

Analysis: The argument suffers from a narrow focus, assuming that because one aspect of a career is 'unacceptable,' the entire career path should be avoided. It fails to consider whether other professions also rely on subjective evaluations—after all, many corporate promotions are just as subjective as an art critic's review. Look for an answer that identifies this failure to compare art to other professions or the leap from a single negative trait to a total rejection of the career.
