"Well what do you do then? I make props ![]() It started off with me studying to be a make-up artist in all honesty :') anythinf from blood to 1969's make-over. Went on to do a degree year and was offered a chance to do prop making instead. Chose that and I am loving it so much more. Just finished my first year and I already run a small buissness and get a lot of commissions. I made foam props before but this course has given me professional skills to make me a serious conpetitor | |||

"Well what do you do then? I make props ![]() I made 3D manoeuvre gear for my daughters attack on Titan cosplay, and was offered a substantial amount of cash for them, it never occurred to me that people actually do it for a living | |||

I know that people do it for love and not money but love does not put bread on the table. Carers save this country millions and are unsung heroes , who deserve both respect and a better deal. | |||

"Well what do you do then? I make props ![]() I have 2 jobs, my weekends are spent taking photographs of people wielding such items at cons. I love seeing the effort people put into these items to bring life to the subjects they love! I'm currently making up a costume myself for my next con that I work at. My day job involves me getting paid to travel the world, seeing new cultures and having great experiences, abseiling table mountain, relaxing on a Barbados beach, scuba diving in Brazil, breaking the law by having a 3some with 2 air stewardesses I met in a Dubai hotel bar, firing every type of weapon imaginable including a grenade machine gun in the Mojave desert and putting stupidly ridiculous bets on roulette in Vegas. (Ok this part has been over a ten year period and there are times I don't see my friends and family for 9 months at a time, I have been shot at a couple of times and serving in an all male environment for the last 5 years really sucked ass!). | |||

"Well what do you do then? I make props ![]() Only starting off with a basic vault dweller from the fallout games, but I do belong to a Star Wars troop (not the 501st or rebel alliance mind, though it does work with a kids cancer charity) as a photographer for them too. | |||

Been to one lady tonight who has various disabilities. She was in a foul mood but after I told her I couldn't help her if she kept shouting at me she said she was sorry and gave me a hug.

"Hate my job. My chosen career path was the wrong one, never been happy being in the building trade. However it's enabled me to keep food on the table and a roof over my families heads, so for that I am thankful. Sadly I think a change of career is too late as I couldn't afford to drop my salary. Starting all over again. Can't blame anyone else but myself. Being a carpenter isn't what it used to be, very few people respect tradesmen, everyone assumes we are all a bunch of dodgy cowboys intent on ripping off old ladies, doing a Crap job and earn 50K a year. I care deeply about the quality of my work and how I treat people. And don't even earn half that amount. Sadly I think I am in the minority these day's a being a qualified tradesman doesn't have the kudos it used to have. So no I don't enjoy my job. " Your not to old to change and if you don't enjoy your job it's really worth making changes. Life's to short to be unhappy at work and if your earning under £25 k you should be able to a new job and maybe do extra carpentry jobs to specific clients who will pay for quality work. Don't be on your death bed thinking I wish I had tried something new and different, regret what you've done not what you haven't | |||
