    Re: Anyone else ever consider getting a "real job"?

    I’m going to miss making art for gypsea. I make a lot of pipes now.
    I will have to look out for more stores on the site.

    Re: Anyone else ever consider getting a "real job"?

    Yes I have to learn how to answer more than one quote per post.
    Or I am just going to stop answering them.
    And just stop posting altogether.

    Re: Anyone else ever consider getting a "real job"?

    Sad truth is that after being a pipe maker for so long other than the odd jobs I suggested I am not qualified for anything else.

    Re: Anyone else ever consider getting a "real job"?

    I’m going to have to admit glass is a lot more expensive than house painting. Not to mention I can charge material plus labor right now. Costs me more money to make glass.

    Re: Anyone else ever consider getting a "real job"?

    I had a retail store once. It did not work out well for me either. It is very hard to do in my opinion.

    This is not true. It has taken me 5 years to get my bubbler line going. I have been designing new stuff all the time. Granted it isn't as intricate as some but I am told people like some simple...

    Re: Anyone else ever consider getting a "real job"?

    this month I had to do a lot of odd jobs and stuff. I am still making glass. But things are not as usual because of CHAMPS. Once that is over things should go back to normal.

    My glass isn’t cheap. I resent that. Some people sell $1 pipes. I’m charging like $7 here. Cheap glass is $2.50 a spoon. But my attitude just sold 250 spoons plus 15 bubblers to a distributor, a...

    I guess the point is that you should stick it out . I was thinking about becoming a chef last year. I’m happy I didn’t try. The past year was great and had a lot of changes.
