One of my photographer friends got a job at a major corporate oil company. Dress code was a coat and tie, polished shoes, and even casual Fridays required a tie, just no suits, a sport coat was the casual part. He was making a decent paycheck, and had health insurance and a retirement funding.

His company was a client of ours at the old company I worked at. He and a crew of three engineers showed up at our office to check out out work before final delivery. The computers were churning, and my current business partner was wearing the 3D glasses and producing the contour files from the 3D images.

We were in shorts and t-shirts when they all arrived. We showed the engineers how we do the work, and some of the film from their project, and the $75,000 film scanner, and computer programs. They were all impressed and of course they were all in business attire.

We used to call our office the Monster Garage. We would park the cars inside if the skies looked like possible hail. The then co-worker now business partner sometimes parked his car inside so he could do an oil change. One of the other guys kept one of his motorcycles there.

I might have more money now if I had gone for the corporate scene, but I would have hated getting dressed up.
