<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I wasn't green at all. I was 100%
self employed for 14 years with a couple of "on call" smaller
colleges around the Seattle area which "got my feet wet" in a
CAUT sort of way. In that frame, I guess I was a bit "green".
I sought out a full time CAUT position getting really tired of long
drives and ferry-boat commuting from the island I lived on. Increase car
expenses by double for me! Made for super long days...Now, I'm 4
miles from UNL and my customers are too, save a church 90 miles away with
a 9'2" Bluthner brand new. It's worth the drive and I charge
for it :>)</font>

<br><font size=3>As often as the wife can keep me booked. Ideally,
at least one job M-F, with out of town jobs or churches with multiple pianos
on as many Saturdays as we can keep booked. M-F isn't always easy,
with trying to make kids ball games, etc. We grossed about $21K outside
last year and still struggled to meet basic expenses for a family of 5.</font>

a college/university position when you were beginning, green, but had some
skills? </font>

<br><font size=3>I felt green when I started, but within a few weeks felt
pretty confident. But most of my training was as a CAUT assistant,
so I had some good background.</font>
