The value of two cents

"It's about 2% movie making and 98% hustling.  It's no way to spend a life."

-- Orson Welles

The fact that out of the entire two hour documentary about Citizen Kane this is the quote that most stands out to me explains everything about why I need to go back to teaching English.  Even in the public school environment, the place I chose to escape the hustling, the percentages remain the same:  2% for actual teaching, 98% for wading through the bureaucratic muck. 

Is there any business, any passion, where this is not so? 

Why do we do it? 

For that little 2%.
