Working 8 hours a day in photoshop/graphics manipulation software using a trackpad is absolute torture, very uncomfortable an inefficient. In fact, designers have a very similar position on the keyboard and mouse as a PC shooter gamer, left hand on the keys, right hand on the mouse. Comfortable and efficient.

I think this stands for most trades. Just go work, and you will learn.

At least they seem to make an effort to hire students, instead of underemployed holders of bachelor's degrees with little to no living expenses they need to pay for by themselves.

I actually read it not long after I posted it. Its hard work! I think TV has made the work seem much more glamourous than it really is, which is, essentially, poorly regulated manual labor.

Re: Female chefs: I think its pretty simply a boys club situation. I knew an incredible female chef who would bitch about the boys-club thing, how the more seasoned men just didn't want women in the kitchens. She was a hard ass though, really clawed her way to a great position.

All pretty true. The sexual harassment thing is intense, and I'm actually surprised any of it gets reported, oftentimes its just a "suck it up, its sort of part of the job" (especially when perpetrated by customers, which is a larger portion of it)

Should have shelled out more for the Photoshop Button Premium, with built-in fuckup-check.

**After reviewing the source article, it seems that they are also ousting the administrators as well for investigation

Immediately makes me think of an awesome bio-luminescent sea anemone, which would also be pretty cool.

Pinterest reminds me of a distant time when I actually enjoyed fashion magazines.

Its still a sundae if you put it all on top of a brownie. Then it becomes a saint.

A hearty, good-old-boy, hear hear! To this one.

I wanted to hate this so, so much, but their ridiculous accents and pretty awesome raps made me grin pretty hard. Teacher is a master, though.

Internships were originally designed for students to get real world experience before they were unleashed on the world, naked save for their bachelors degrees. You got those last few elective credits PLUS something to put on your resume.

So glad this girl is making a labor case about her internships. I firmly believe that many internships do exactly what is quoted from the suit:

You would be horrified to discover how many men I actually knew who were like this. I was aging at the same rate as these guys, and their girlfriends were staying the same age. The girls would turn 22, 23, graduate college, and realize these dudes had NOTHING to offer.

I think appending "at the given time" would make that number seem more relatable.

No, but I do think that every time a woman (or anyone who cares, for that matter) sees some pink bullshit being shilled at a Macy's checkout counter, they'll remember this shit, and go home and donate the $10 they would have spent on that scented candle to Planned Parenthood instead.

I think the too-much focus on her, but if this sort of thing is the norm (when it can be) in those sorts of towns, then I suppose thats just fine.

This is absolutely wonderful, but seems entirely inappropriate for a classroom.
