    It is truly sad when someone like Dave has to give up the dream.  It
    does have its advantages, though, to find a 'real job' and be able
    to create what you want on your own terms without as much concern
    about selling it.  Unfortunately, this has been my only real job
    since I got out of school.  I don't have one of those real world
    jobs to fall back on.  When sales stink, I just have to dig deeper,
    tighten the belt tighter and figure out a way out.  Believe me, I
    have considered a number of times putting my jewelry on a back
    burner so that I could do what I want, when I want and not worry
    about paying the bills with it.  But, anything else would mean entry
    level and even poorer income.  More importantly, perhaps, is the
    simple fact that this is my life.  Not a rich one, perhaps, but it
    is what I do.  Create things.  Mostly jewelry, but occasionally I
    dabble in other creative endeavors, too. Jim
