RE: Is the translation industry the new High School?
In my view, the translation industry is not a high school. I would not have survived even for three weeks. As far as some outsourcing, pseudo-translation companies are concerned, this is a different problem. I do not deal with them that much so I do not want to comment on some particular companies. May guess is, some of them might be something more like a kindergarten, but this is only my guess.

Certainly not in the movie 'Cry Wolf' I saw on Canal+ last night where "high school seniors playing a game of lies come face-to-face with terror" ... (http://www.phase9.tv/movies/crywolf.shtml)

RE: Is the translation industry the new High School?
Maybe it depends "which high school". I would not want my relationship with colleagues and clients to resemble the fictional world I've seen on television, but then, I don't live in a fictional world. I and my two sons each attended a different high school, and I'd not be unhappy to have that type of interaction of any of the three institutions and their "inhabitants".
