STOP TELLING ME TO DO WHAT I LIKE DOING!
every single time i get asked “what are you planning to do for a job!” my answer is usually along the lines of “i don’t know.”
everyone’s unanimous response is “well what do you like to do?”
THAT DOESN’T FUCKING HELP ME!
i like to crochet but i get a commission once every few months and its always for something small, something that really only costs $10-$20 dollars. every once in a while i do get a big money commission ($100+). but it isn’t sustainable for me.
almost no one wants to put upwards of $100 dollars on a blanket or cardigan, what they want is something that took me weeks-months for $40-$50.
i am not “viral” or well known enough for people to be begging me to make them something that they are actually willing to buy as well. i am tired of people saying “do what you like to do as a job.” when my dad tried that as well with woodworking and had the same result!
