I can certainly understand that statement but in general I actually LOVE my job. "Most" of my customers are really cool and I get to hang out with some of the best guitar gear on the planet. The hours suck but it's afforded me a decent living for the last 20 years and I've been my own boss for 13 of those years, what more could I ask for?

you have my sympathies. I did it for 12 yrs. and I'm soooo glad I got out of it.

[mattsmusiccenter]

Wait I know what I can ask for... one more post to get me to 3000 posts!

I understand what you're say Matt. My comment was only referring to how difficult the job can I be. I worked for Daddy's in Nashua, N.H. for those 12 yrs so you might have an idea of why I made the comment I made.
