Today, I told someone about my degree in technical theatre with a concentration in lighting design. They looked at me and said, "You're paid $52,000 a year to turn lights on and off?" And technically, that's correct. FML

EXTREMELY technically that's correct. But whoever you were talking to is really ignorant.

Well, you can reply that you are paid $2,000 a year to turn lights on and of, and another $50,000 to know when and which lights to turn on and off.

I agree with #1. That person has to be rude, inconsiderate, and very ignorant. OP, your job is very important on stage, so don't let one person bring you down!

Then go work for Broadway shows and see who's laughing then. Lighting is difficult so don't take anyone's crap.

Guess what you're making 52 grand to do that. Be happy so many people do not have that type of paycheck. If you're unhappy then there is reason for concern otherwise keep turning the lights on and off and smile while doing so
