Right on Lisa!, Our profession is also simular to doctors, lawyers, and real-estate agents, in that we work with very valuable items -hundreds of times more expensive than anything in a discount store. I've found that discounts and low fees do not increase work as the discount mentality does not apply to pianos. However driving a nice car, wearing fine cloths, and communicating well with other professionals is the key. IMHO, my leather trench coat is one of the best investments I've made. -Mike Jorgensen RPT > > As far as comparing our job to working at Walmart or McDonalds or other > UNTRAINED, minimum wage jobs..... > > We have trained for a number of years, many of us have college degrees, and we > have every right to compare ourselves with people in other professions that > require education and experience. > > I believe we need to see ourselves in a better light and express that to our > customers by how professional we are.
