Michael is a lyric poet with an M.A. in English who would like to make a living on his poetry, though he realizes that his chances of doing so are not high. As he searches for a job in advertising or public relations, he looks forward to moving out of his parents’ house. To help him do so, he has enlisted the help of a career counselor.

Michael says: ‘I need to be able to take care of myself…I know what I’m good at. I know what I’m passionate about. I’m just struggling to [turn] that into money.’ | • Watch Video
