[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 7715047, member: 4937"] Hopefully he took enough economics, or read enough economics in the process of running D&D games, that he has a viable model. My guess is that his current model is just about replacing his income that he would otherwise get from working retail - maybe $9.50 an hour - until he can actually get a 'real job'. That implies he only needs to come up with like $400 a week to make it more worthwhile than a retail job or fast food. Of course, this isn't even a living wage in Manhattan, much less something that is going to dig him out of his $200,000 in student loans (because most Master's programs in non-science fields don't come with a stipend). Still, he probably can come up with the $400 a week in Manhattan no problem. Heck, I bet with four large gigs and two small gigs, he might be doing better than that. I hope he's made a good study of the tax code. That might come as a big surprise. [/QUOTE]
