Something to appreciate about our profession

I am still looking forward to a time(very soon!) when I won't have to tune 
for stores.  That necessitates more hours, as they pay rather poorly.  But 
they do give me private jobs and warranty tunings, so it isn't all bad.  THEN 
I'll be able to do as most of you suggest, and back off on the hours.  
California is just too friggin' expensive....

Thanks for all your responses.  It's without a doubt the most rewarding job 
I've ever had.
