Key part of any artistic field - and certainly building guitars and working with wood in general is an artistic pursuit - is experience. Working under an established luthier is very important, and the experience of working in your craft just cannot be replaced.

Any chance you can re-locate in your current field and take courses in the evenings? Or perhaps latch on to a local luthier as an apprentice and work in the evenings or during the weekend?

I myself have thought about starting an apprenticeship with a luthier to learn the tricks of the trade. But for now I'm going to work on my playing.]]> Opinions and Polls The Dali https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/help-a-brother-out/paged/2/#post-184335 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/help-a-brother-out/paged/2/#post-184329 Mon, 19 Jun 2006 22:37:33 +0000 Opinions and Polls muddy https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/help-a-brother-out/paged/2/#post-184329 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/help-a-brother-out/paged/2/#post-184003 Sun, 18 Jun 2006 08:57:01 +0000
Now, I know I said I wouldn't speak of anything specifically but I feel that fatherhood is a vast subject that can be taken down many paths and there are certainly aspects of it that require depth of thought far more than a person could delve into here.

At any rate what I'm trying to get at is that fulfilment cannot come from something you do, achieve or acquire. You must feel fulfilled first. Then, all that you do, achieve and acquire will have that much more meaning for you.

Just my thoughts.]]> Opinions and Polls hueseph https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/help-a-brother-out/paged/2/#post-184003 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/help-a-brother-out/paged/2/#post-183844 Sat, 17 Jun 2006 08:03:20 +0000

All of this talk of carreer changes freaks me out a little, who knows maybe after my upcoming years of politcal science, french, and law, I may actually end up doing my dream of becoming a record producer.]]> Opinions and Polls Off He Goes https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/help-a-brother-out/paged/2/#post-183843 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/help-a-brother-out/#post-183055 Mon, 12 Jun 2006 19:06:26 +0000 as for my proficiency at the proposed jobs, I have been a coach most of my life in one respect or another.. i have been a artist all my life so can use my hands and mind very well.. also i am a engineer. so i can have the most enjoyable struggles within my head from both side..lol...

And you won't be too far from Boston and Providence, both of which have an active music community.

Good Luck wherever the road takes you.

for me the biggest obstacle to becoming a physical therapist was the schooling. i had to take two years of prerequisite classes to get into a physical therapy program and there was a (big) chance that i wouldn't get in any place because it's competitive. i was lucky to get into an inexpensive state school but it was pure torture. it was doubtful that i'd make it through because it was hard and a lot of people flunk out. anyway i got through and i've been a physical therapist since 2002.

what's the moral of this? i don't know but you asked what the biggest obstacle to changing your career path is. for me it was school. for you it may be money. have a lot in savings is my best advice.]]> Opinions and Polls pearlthekat https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/help-a-brother-out/#post-182625
