Now it’s time to get your hands dirty with just about everything that comes your way and build up that experience. You’re not meant to be a master of your field, you’re meant to be able to think intelligently about your subject matter

My grandpa had a taxidermied pheasant, great horned owl, and a coyote pelt on his living room wall.
Nothing wrong with all that, it’s just weird as a kid.
