I feel like we have hijacked this thread and I apologize. Bears and Dogs, your questions are personal and intrusive, but not “mean.” I am wondering what is going on that prompted these questions, but I think I might see through what is happening.

The career my son chose for himself is not one in which you “get a job” and then everything is OK. His career is one of individual projects, usually on a 1099 basis. He has his own company and is hired by production companies (or effects houses) on a movie-by-movie basis. When he first graduated, he lived and worked from home for his first few projects (approx 3 months). As he became better known and work began to come to him (instead of him seeking work), he moved out of town, got an apartment in a not-too-far-away city, and worked from there, occasionally traveling for projects. He is now in Los Angeles working several movies at once, and has an apartment there. Luckily, he has been very successful (read: 14-16-hour days of work, 6-7 days a week). So he is very independent.

ichitogoxx… you can have your thread back again. lol Congrats on having lots of different interests. There are so many adventures awaiting you!
