Hi Orchidians; I wish to thank one and all who took the time to
answer my question about the advisability of risking further injury
from carpel tunnel syndrome doing lapidary work. My thoughts at
this time are that I will probably not take on that direction just
yet. We'll look for other creative venues and see how this
gentleman's recovery proceeds. It may very well be possible for him
to do some faceting with the use of dops. I may want to try it
myself, if I can find a local lapidary group that can familiarize me
with the many things to know about that great art. We think we may
have found some other means for him to develop income for the
business and also build his skills in other areas so that he is once
again satisfied that he has marketable skills. Funny, he has the
knowledge to manage a shop, and that would probably net him a higher
pay rate than a bench man, but not being able to do what he was
proud of makes him feel out of touch with his value as an employee.
I'm not trying to be a hero here, I just have an understanding,
based on my own research and experience, that people who have a
strong sense of self worth make better employees and that their
sense of their own worth isn't always based on their pay check.
Sometimes it's about knowing that you've worked long and hard to be
able to do something very few others can do. Of course, I think
that in itself should have a monetary value too. Finally, it's
about marketing, in some way, isn't it? Thanks again, all who
helped me on this concern.
