>>It levels lots of B/S.<<
One of the best things that ever happened to me was spending years (too many years) in pre-press, stripping negatives for six-color presses, 4 ft. wide web rolls for advertising, magazines, color inserts. When you are stripping four-color process negatives onto pre-punched mylar, say 200 dots per inch, they have to line up perfectly in every dimension.
When you see the results printed on the page, it either is right, or it ain't right. No BS can change it.
When the presses stop because the plates need to be remade, that's maybe a thousand dollars an hour down the drain. You develop integrity, or you can't do the job.
Lots of jobs are like that -- airline pilot, machinist, surgeon, anesthesiologist, no fudge factor whatsoever.
Jobs where "everybody lies" just won't cut it. |
