I recently remarked that you couldn't pay me enough money to work for Microsoft. The person I was chatting with then said you take a job for the money.
"What do principles have to do with it?"
I think they have a whole lot to do with it. If you're not working on something you believe in yourself, how can you expect to do it well? If we exist for a century or so, why the hell would we devote a good chunk of that time to something that doesn't align with our beliefs, values, and principles?
What you do think??

Principles are the only thing
Principles are the only thing that sets us apart from the herd, Tim. Money pays the bills, but it sure doesn't pay you enough to live with yourself if you're not following your belief.
Nice one, good sir.
Perfect way to put it Danny.
Perfect way to put it Danny. Always a pleasure to have you here :)
Exactly why I couldn't work
Exactly why I couldn't work at a certain portrait studio chain anymore. Being on the inside made me realize how much it wasn't about photography or customers, but just so much about money and deceiving. Just a sales job. I didn't believe in the job so it felt like selling my soul. Glad that's over with.
Kudos to you for sticking by
