Description
When I was in high school I won a Kodak Contest and the newspaper printed the photo and announcement, then invited me to come work for them that summer.
I did. I had my own darkroom with the finest equipment, a 4x5 camera, a jeep to travel in, and my name in the paper every night.
Toward the end of the summer one of the reporters took me aside and said, "You don't want to do this for a living. Go to college... learn a trade. Newspaper people are negative and you'll learn to hate the job."
So I did. Then I went to work in television and directed the news for 35 years.
