That's a golden reply. Thank you for it.

How long would you say one has to stay in a "real job" to gain the necessary experience?

    Your reputation is gold in certain industries so don't talk shit, never say no

In what situations not to say "no"? When asked a favor? When assigned far more work than your position requires you to do? When being made to work on stuff your position has no relation to?
