I am constantly amazed when I hear that a husband and wife are successfully working together in a print shop. Even more amazing to me is when I come across an entire family toiling within the same walls. Are they exceedingly patient, excessively ignorant to the potential dangers or unemployable anywhere else? (Editor’s note: blog posts reflect the views of the author, not Printing Impressions.

My ex-wife used to work in a family oil business, along with her three brothers and dad. There was indeed patience, ignorance and that unemployable-anywhere-else-issue all in evidence. But somehow it worked.
