You never know what job you have that will teach you lessons that you’ll use decades later. Growing up as a theater loving kid, Frank Rich got a dream job as a ticket taker in a theater in his hometown of Washington, D.C. And he watched as shows were changed, rewritten, shortened and lengthened from night to night in preparation for Broadway. What he observed and the lessons he learned served him well later as the New York Times drama critic and much later as an executive producer on the HBO series Veep and Succession.
