In fact, out of the 8 original students (actually, make that 7...one of them ended up in jail midway through the course), 3 of them landed jobs in the industry.
On with the January classes. I signed up 15 students this time. 10 part-time and 5 fulltime. With a tuition of $2500 each, it's safe to say that life is going pretty good in Cruzerland. Just do the math.
It's times like these when I look back and reflect on how my life was before this.....let's see.
4 years ago:
- getting up at 530am to arrive to work at 7am
- scraping ice off the windshields and starting the cars up
- washing cars in sub-zero weather, just to watch the soap suds freeze on the car
- gettin' yelled at over the phone by Shap
- making a trip to Money Mart or Cash Advance and taking an advance on my paycheque so I can afford Christmas presents
- missing spending time with relatives visiting from out of town because trying to take time off during such a busy time is unheard of (I tried anyway...and got yelled at)
- crappy pay, long hours....etc...etc...etc.
Present Day:
- getting up at 9am
- arrive at the Tattoo School around 2pm
- work on some tattoo designs for clients
- Tattoo someone....average 5-7 tattoo per week @ $100-$200 a pop...for pocket money
- Supervise students as they tattoo their clients
- realize that nothing I do now doesn't even come close to feeling like work...because I enjoy it so much
- taking the next 3 weeks off until the January classes start....because I can
Life is definitely better for me after E.
Happy Holidays
