The thing I learned at my first job out of school is that I was nowhere near being qualified to be an art director and that most of what you need to know you didn't learn in school anyway. Dues need to be paid, egos and assumed idealizations need to be crushed, people need to be managed, and emotions need to be removed before anyone should be considered an art director. I agree, this makes no sense.
