  How does that work? I find the ability to be in these positions as an IC really impossible nowadays. Maybe it was easier in the 90s? I heard contracting was a way better gig back then too, until corpos got all high and mighty about it putting an end to the practice by favoring head shops instead.

    Get in early. Know everything. Wide skill set. Arcane stuff.

      Buy a lottery ticket and hope lady luck greets you? How useful.

        No luck. Lots of strategic decision making.

          Yes and you neglected to mention any of this. Right up there with "draw the rest of the owl" level of advice.
