So it was probably a lot of work for very, very little money.
And getting taken advantage of like that takes a pretty dramatic toll on your mental health too.
Like when Ghostbusters II opening up with them doing a kid's birthday party to make ends meet.

I forgot about that. People are just ####ing cruel sometimes eh?
I think there's a shortcoming society wide but it's highlighted with fame (or near fame in this case?) But essentially, we need a better way to transition older people still in the workforce to dignified positions that help to maintain their own self worth. IMO a huge amount of the depression we see in older males in particular (probably because they derived their worth from employment/providing while the females of the same generation had more diverse interests like family and such) comes from exactly this gap in personal/societal expectations vs the reality that not everyone (not even all high achievers) can sit in vaunted positions within our capitalist hierarchy.
