Summary
I have worked in high paying low labour industry, and low paying high labour industry. What I find is best for both is the crew you're with, and professionalism that makes the job something to be proud of. I am interested in learning the nuance of new things on each level that it is appropriate for me to be aware. I pride myself on adaptability, and camaraderie through work done. I have worked alone a few times and I find it also a great reflective space to hone my own standards of quality work.
Now I am hoping to use my acquired dynamic working knowledge to propel myself into a career I can look back at with fondness and pride.
