Whats your other job?

[TheBigLost 0]

Okay so I'm interested.

I've met a nest of new people but we can't all tie for a living can we?

Whats your other job and is there anyone here who ties for a living (or at least partial?)

I sell real estate and I'm also a part time rock star.

And I do tie on a small-scale professional level. I've got customers, and tie for a couple of shops, but I don't advertise or have business cards or anything.

I am an automobile technician. I fix broken stuff all day long. I have never sold a fly either. I figure that if I do, it will no longer be a hobby for me. I tie because I like to, most times, not because I have to, most times.

I'm in the movie business!

 

 

Probably the most unglamorous part of the movie business, but it's the freaking movie business.

 

I work for Kodak (until they let me go, which with Kodak, especially in this economy, could be any day....you never know) and do remote support for the feature movies and the preshow. Nothing fancy, but it gives me a chance to slack off and check the forums!!!

Information Technology. I am Director at a footwear company. I have three young kids so my tying is limited to nights with frequent interruption.

I don't have a job yet. I've never sold a fly but have traded for various rod building/flytying/fishing tools and materials.

Environmental negotiations.

Have been given money by folks at conclaves to whom I offered a fly for free and who insisted on paying for it. Which is very interesting, if you think about it. I am willing to tie and give away and they feel guilty about taking it for free so they give me money to relieve their guilt. Of course, most of the tyers I know, if given a fly by a fellow tyer, are going to return the favor -- which is sort of but not exactly the same thing.
