If You Build It, They Will Come.

Friday, October 17, 2003

Say there's this guy who is a sculptor. He makes statues. He loves it, but he's poor, and around $3,000 in debt. And he has yet to sell any of his sculptures. As it stands now he lives in Montana for really no reason at all apart from the friends he has there.

One day, this guy comes up to him and offers him a job in data entry. It pays enough for him to get out of debt very quickly and then make some nice money. But it's a very boring and monotonous job that he will most likely dispise, and it will likely swallow the vast majority of his time he'd like to use building statues. However, the money he makes will allow him to easily purchase plaster and supplies, and he would have the resources to create something very nice.

Apart from that there seem to be two other catches. One, he has to commit to this job for at least a few years. And two, he has to move. He doesn't know where, and he won't find out until after he says yes.

What would your advice be to this guy? Leave me a shout out.
