I'd love to do that sort of thing, not sure how I could get into that field w/o an ID degree. I know I'd be great at it though.

It's a deceptively small market and w/o creating a highly desirable brand no one would want to pay the premium price, and puts me back in the spot I am in now, namely I would have to market myself and I haven't got the cash or time or chops to do that. The appeal of a regualr job is not having to do all the cold calling/marketing. Another problem with that line of work is that like woodworking and photography an awful lot of the people with the money and interest fancy themselves as weekend hobbyists who want to get their hands dirty.

Funny, I took a career test right after graduating and of the top ten careers they outlined for me, I had already done 9 of them. The only thing I hadn't done was be a detective.

It was really uncanny. I wonder if my aptitudes would have changed since then.
