What Can You Tell Us About Your Experience as a PC Consultant?

5. How many times were you asked? Never... I always had lots of red flag questions. But as soon as I said I worked full time or had a wierd schedule they would clam up.

I was in retail and did not have much controll over my schedule but I see now I could have managed 1 or 2 shows a month. It would have started me on such a great road! Not to mention I did not have kids then.
