Hey guys what about the noob that has to operate on a shoestring budget for what ever reason. Having to pay for instruction might be the difference between a life long hobbyist or a drop out.
No argument with that. I certainly don't see paid instruction as an incentive to begin the hobby. I see BETTER instruction as an incentive, but that doesn't necessarily mean paid. As I've said before, I don't see getting paid as an incentive for people to either start instructing or make significant improvement in the instruction that they do give.
If you were burned out and didn't want to instruct any more, how much money would it take for you to rededicate yourself to it?
