The art of time-bending 1: working student survival guide

Ok, so let me just compile the gist of most of the questions:

1There is this meme that has been going around the internet about what a lot of purebred industry practitioners say:
The full quotation is:
Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach.
In the essence of fairness, I don’t even want to know who said this. I might meet him someday and judge him as small-minded based on this ignorant statement alone when this could have been an isolated case of temporary insanity. But here are the things that many purebred industry practitioners do not know More >
