Another Bend in the Road

Filed under: General, Small Business

I’ve been officially laid off so you can add me to the California numbers. The story is that they laid off the graphic artists at work because they wanted to move production down to the downtown LA office (to save money) so technically I could’ve kept my job if I commuted there (ha!) and took their grave yard shift (ha!) but they offered us a separation package and we all (the graphics artists) took it.

So… we’ll see if I can cut it as a full time entreprenuer. I’ve been working my way towards that but was thinking more like doing in about a year from now. I’m taking this as a “sign” though — plus an opportunity has arisen in regards to my geek store so I’m going for it!

Well I said that in my sidebar and this is one of those times. Who would’ve thought that there’d come a time when I’d be earning the majority of my income based on the strange and eclectic hobbies and interests I’ve had as escapes from my “career path” ?

CNN/Money: TV Dad Salaries

I thought this was post worthy partly for the TV dad angle but also because it was interesting to see how close in salaries certain jobs were. For instance, Dan Conner, Roseanne’s Construction Worker dad ($38,202) compared to Family Ties dad, Steven Keaton as a Public TV Station manager ($40,713).
