rude, mean, demeaning and downright vicious comments that we're talking about.  Just because it's not all "rosy & lucratiive" doesn't mean you can't offer a nice word of encouragement.  Why step all over someone's dream just because your dream didn't come true with this industry?  Maybe it's not all about the money.  Maybe someone is going into this field in order to be at home with their family.  You can be honest without being nasty and rude, that's the whole point here.  Be honest, tell it like it is, but for heaven's sake, KEEP IT FRIENDLY.
