Once again, Reality rears its ugly head

That it is WAY past time to get out of the industry. Now I see the kids who are one of the main causes in the downward spiral of studio rates and quality, complaining about a new generation under them of kids causing a downward spiral of rates and quality.

YOUCH!

Its by no means uncommon for a vet to take a severe tongue lashing by these types either. No respect. You can lead a horse to water but PETA will have your ass if you shove his head in it. The end of the 80's saw the average studio worker's wage go from somewhat liveable to below minimum wage. Now, 2007, its WELL below server's minimum.

Im afraid soon, this will all join snowboarding and tow-in surfing as a hobby of the rich, no longer having the counterbalance of the passionate poor.

I am SO glad for the double edged sword of our tools now being so cheap. I can carry on wreaking audio havoc, even if I have to leave for a far more lucrative job, like McDonalds.
