You mention starting at the bottom and working your way up. NAIL ON THE HEAD. In every career actually. Most…not all…want to be “All That” (I’m showing my age when I say that) right out the gate. NOPE! You gotta pay your dues and do the crap work first. It builds character. Hell…the crap work is important too. Cleaning brushes, in my case copying files all day long, is crap work. But even that had to be right so all jobs in every industry need a small fish and big fish to make things run right.

Plus, most jobs hand you humble pie now and again. It’s gotta be done!!!

Hard work is what gets you where you want to be. My dad said that all the time to me and my siblings.
