job opportunity

just a thought, but

1. sounds like some one bit off more than they could chew., and
2. anyone with those kind of credentials ...why would they be working for someone else, especially in a transit situation? is Evanston near waves? m

So, what's this gig gonna pay? And are you offering hazardous duty pay for living in Chi-town?

What do you do Michelle when you're a one or two person shop and someone throws a $20k job at you? If you're like me you take it, and figure out how to do it later. This is common especially today when no one wants to pay benefits to fulltimers. SG workers have either become part time hired hands, or cab drivers. I get really qualified folks looking for work all the time. I feel kind of bad that I'm making a living with mostly business and sales skills, while the real artists are out of work.

honestly, i've been turning down those 20k jobs (that require ladders ;.) and that once you're done paying the help, doing the back-up when they don't work up to expectations, repairing/re-doing when they cause damage or just not up to spec, all so you end up with a very small percentage margin overall, and have opted for the ones that allow me more artistic freedom, and more profit/ less stress. It just ain't worth it anymore. If i'm not having fun, thankfully, i have enough options to just say NO! m

Good for you, but I'm guessing that you're not a primary income earner, and have also figured out how to live and work in a low/no tax or rent situation. I simply can't give up any big job. I'll take it and figure out how to get it done later.

n those 20k jobs (that require ladders ;.)

well, you're lousy at guessing. I most certainly am the primary (and sole) income earner and have never had it otherwise, I have just managed to obtain a niche in the market that just can't be filled by the craftsman alone. I have the ability to design original pieces and installations and the business acumen to get paid well enough for my talent to be able to focus on that. and see? even i can bottom post! m

As I said, good for you. Where do you work out of? After 20 years doing this, I can not imagine ever turning down a $20k job as you say you do. Doesn't make me evil. The taxes alone on my building are $10k. Are you paying rent on a big space? I don't know how much money you earn, but I'm still guessing my cost of living here may be multiple times yours. That big nut makes working for fun impossible at times.
