Jim Scott:
"Everyone was a little younger than me. Being a little older actually worked out to my advantage - I already had life experience. If my job as janitor was to clean the bathroom, I just did it right and then I did the next job they give me right and I got a reputation for doing things right. ?Who should do this job? We need somebody to take this guy to the airport.? ?Ask Jim because Jim will get him there on time.? ?We need somebody to go get five sandwiches. It?s Brooks Arthur and he?s not having a good day, so we need the sandwich to be right when it comes back.?
You make sure if somebody wants pickles, he has pickles. You check the order. You check the cassette when somebody says, ?Make a cassette of the new Rod Stewart record and take it over to Rod Stewart?s house.? You don?t just make a cassette and run up there. You make a cassette and then you listen to it. If the cassette doesn?t sound good you make another. I don?t think it?s hard, but you?ve got to have a pride in it - in anything. Just do a great job and somebody will recognize it and hire you again. If you do a really crummy job they definitely will not hire you again. It?s not just about recording and engineering. It?s about anything, any job."
Both of these, * 1 million. Except for the blow job part. Euuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.1) learn how to solder PROPERLY
2) get an electronics degree (or thereabouts)
if you can wire a studio>>>>>>>>big plus
if you can repair equipment>>>>>blow job from studio owner.
BTW I can soldier and have an electronics degree, and some time on my hands...anyone in southern california need an intern / repair guy? You'll have to pay or compensate me somehow though. I'm too old to start sponging off of my parents again.
