Re: Working Over the weekend... NOW: Back to Mac Pro speculation

[Chris Harlan] "I've certainly seen my share of that, Bill, but usually not in editorial, where people generally have to be skilled and responsible. Also, the long solitary hours don't really act as an incentive. I'm not sure I'd call it a dream job, unless it is the kind of thing you are driven to."

That's right, and unlike executives who can often survive on nepotism alone, those in the key technical and creative crafts (editing for example) can get a foot through the door because of their connections, but they can only sustain a career if they can carry their weight and create the goods.
