O.K. I admit it. I'm one of the many "enthusiast" guild members. I would guess that a large percentage of the recent membership increases can be attributed to those of us dreaming of wood while sitting in a cube. It's time for us to become a bit more active in this forum and the guild in general. No such thing as a dumb question (I hope).

I fantasize about one day earning a living by making sawdust. However, I have no real first hand knowledge of what a TF career entails. What is the average day, week, month like for a professional TFer? What percent of your time is spent travelling and at work sites. What is an average wage? In general how does it feel to earn a paycheck climbing a real ladder and not a corporate one?

Thanks.
