I never said you're not dedicated. I said that the statement that a PT can be just as dedicated as a FT is ludicrous. An FT has more time since that IS their business.
Yes, proper time management skills can help a PT run a business effectively... but a FT has the luxury of 100% dedication.
Ace I hope you know that I am only making a very obvious point, A full time DJ could have all the time available in a lifetime, but if they don't work smart, work right, and have the level of intelligence to accomplish the task......it's a moot point,.... my good buddy.
How much time you dedicate to a task is irrelevant......I would venture to say, and I don't know your background, that I could handle the Cost and revenue side of a business, with proper analysis in a shorter period of time then most on this board. I'm not bragging but; that's where my college degree is and, 40 years as a business owner of a multi-million dollar corporation, these qualities are part of my skill set.
In addition when it comes equipment, computers, etc... I'm sure you and good many on this board, are far superior to me in these skill area's, and that's a very relevant difference, since these are core concepts in our business.
What I do as a Part Time/Hobbyist, is through the use of the concept of "Economies of Scale", I acknowledge this deficiency, and Subcontract these needs, to those with the knowledge to complete the task.........And again not every Part timer can afford to do this but; I think you would be surprised how many can, especially those Part timers with dual Incomes in the family........
So in this case my having less time than you to accomplish a given task is......................irrelevant.......Agreed??
I just don't think that the Statement "....Full timers are more dedicated than Part Timers....", has any substance to it, that would allow it to be a generalized statement as to the abilities, qualities of the various sectors in our industry..............there are too many unknowns.
I also agree that you are not trying to say one is better than the other, but too many in our industry try to make these invalid generalizations, as truths.......
Gray Out........
