I was just wondering how many on the forum use the laser for a hobby, how many use it to make extra cash, and how many have a full blown career from the work they do with the laser.
I bought mine in hopes of picking up some extra money because there is no job security anywhere anymore. Seems it may have been a wise investment since i was told my job will be moving to our Headquarters (no I won't move also) in 4-6 months.
I have a looooong way to go and so much to learn, but can you make a living doing this? I've seen the work posted on this site, and am sure many could make a very comfortable living. Just not sure how much is in the art type projects and how much is the engraving of large orders like pens, name plate data, etc.
Curious to hear your thoughts.
