Hi there.
I just registered today.
I'm 31, and I roll biscuits for Hardees. I also recently bought a Roland CX-300 plotter so I can do some sign work on the side.
I'm not new to the sign business. My dad owned and operated a sign business for about 15-20 years. He managed a sign company here for about 5 years, but that sign business closed and the owner had my dad re-trained to be a jeweler (the fellow now owns a jewelery store). My dad went from being an excellent sign guy to being an excellent jeweler :).
I've done all kinds of less-than-mediocre jobs (about a job per year was my average). Before I got my job at Hardee's I decided to try to stay with whomever hired me just to change that average. Well, Hardee's hired me.
I tried to do signs before (without buying a plotter and without having any other source of income), and it was a miserable failure. Perhaps it will be better this time. I think having a plotter and another income makes a bit of difference.
Anyways, I have perused this bulletin board and it seems nice. I wanted some opinions on a job coming up (will post that elsewhere); so I thought I'd register.
Cheers.
