If you let it, you will get an inkling of how high volume manufacturing is really managed. You'll start thinking about process control, not quality control. Whether it's ammo or automobiles, the concepts are the same. It can be a rewarding career, but as my old dad once said "you'll never have cocktail party conversation".
