Do you have a driver's license? Good. Get these files over to P.S. Studios right away. Remind your parents that sponges are living, feeling beings.

"First Assistant Editor." You smirk when you see it during the credit roll—more like "glorified bagel train driver"—but guess what? You're getting paid and you're on your way.

As the assistant editor, you're the hub of all post-production workflow on big network shows and feature films.

You made it. You're almost forty and you're finally an editor. You can wrangle storylines as complex as The Matrix and Game of Thrones without breaking a sweat.

You can go to Starbucks without being accosted by TMZ and still win an Oscar. If you were paid in cash, your weekly take-home would cripple a donkey. You get to put "A.C.E." after your name in the credits and you are never listed on Movie Mistakes.
