Re: Rate and Slate
Most recently I was a construction manager/carpenter for a landscaping company. Rich people's backyards, mostly. Lots of city driving with trucks and vans, too. Before that I managed and fabricated at a plastic shop. I've also done crate building/art handling, homebuilding, plumbing, and a little bit of work at a prop studio. My wife and I were both working full-time for the first year after my son was born, but I started staying home with the kid last year because all of my money was going to childcare. I was working for the privilege of being able to work, and someone else was raising my kid.
I don't know if I'll go back into "my field" or try to do something different, like with my painting. It's been hard adapting to being home all the time, but taking care of the kid is very rewarding and I've been able to find time to keep recording.
