What’s everyone’s desired end game
in this industry? I know we don’t all want to be CCOs or start our own shops. Travel the world? Be a film director? Not a damn clue?

I like my job, and the industry generally, but man do I was in a line of work that didn’t require me to have an endgame. My endgame is to make steady money and hopefully retire one day.

Make cool shit. It’s as simple as that. Although film is a beautiful thing to direct! 😉

I’ll never earn enough money in this industry to retire so I may have to start turning tricks. The sad part is, I’ll still need an endgame for that too :(

Kind of a weird question, but if you have status at hotels is there any way you could finagle either free or discounted multi-day parking for hotels near an airport? Don't want to have to rely on ride sharing from my home if there is a stronger likelihood of rides near a hotel airport parking space. I am speculating that it still turns out cheaper than hotel parking. This is not for work so I wouldn't be able to expense it.

Any input on employers is appreciated!
