Well they have a choice. Do voice acting or have a full-time job. If you can balance both because you have a job where you can pick your hours or you work from home or whatever, then great.

"Well they have a choice" leads down a pretty rough rabit hole. Imagine if all labor laws were constructed with that attitude (and the U.S, as an example, is really close to that reality as it is.) We'd all be living in a Second Gilded Age (if we aren't already.)

Fortunately, in developed countries people recognized that employment negotiations aren't necessarily balanced and laborers need protections. Even part-time laborers and even contractors. 

Basically your argument is that if somebody chooses VA work they deserve to potentially fall into the half who don't make a living wage, but they have that choice, so it is okay and we need VA work to be done. 🙄

What? I wouldnt mind if every voice actor got plenty of work and made a great living doing what they love. Its just not reality. Its a very competitive scene. Just like if you want to be an actor, musician, author, pro athlete etc. Most people wont make a living on that alone. Thats just a very few percentage that can actually make a living doing any of those things.
