Re: Help me, being taken advantage of

Well stated. One of the most important lessons I've learned is to have more options and skills no matter what workforce you're a part of. Usually they will benefit you in tandem!

Example: I'm a bookkeeper. I can apply these skills to running a small business like a recording studio. I'm a good bookkeeper in part because I'm fast with Quickbooks... Which I learned fast because I've spent years learning audio software.

The owner of our studio is a great carpenter. Result? Well, we haven't paid anyone a dime to help us build the new place... Not to mention the thousands of times he has refurbished beautiful vintage gear and restored it's usefulness and financial value.

You might have some secondary skill/passion that you can explore as well... It could be the smartest thing you ever do.
