[QUOTE="Blue Orange, post: 8483628, member: 7025997"] Yeah, it's not a good job in the usual sense of the word. I remember reading all those great D&D books as a kid and thinking I'd love to be behind the desk making them, and now I realize those people probably got paid squat and got laid off when TSR started crashing. I doubt they pay much or have much in the way of benefits, though that's a perennial problem in the arts. <shrug> Counterpoint. Be true to your values, but you know, I remember when I was applying to college and didn't want to click 'Hispanic' on the form (my family's from Latin America) because I was conservative and opposed affirmative action. (I was a weird high school kid--I was raised in a super-liberal east coast environment and wanted to rebel.) My dad said "look, all the old money people are going to take advantage of their connections, why are you going to unilaterally disarm?" (There were a few [I]jodidos[/I] and [I]mierdas[/I] in there too.) Fight for yourself, sir. Nobody else will in this world. [/QUOTE]
