I also love my "real" job. I work in Human Resources for a great company and have a wonderful boss. When I started with PC, my family really needed the $$$ to help us get by each month. However, I just got a raise at work that was big enough to take off the "pressure" so now the PC income is just extra..which will be nice. I'm am starting to get burned out a bit with managing a FT job, a family and a PC business. Right now, I can't see where PC would be able to replace my FT income. After April (I have 7 shows scheduled), I think I'm going to pull back a little with PC. Good thread, I'm glad to see that there are others like me.
