Re: Learning from hobbies; moving to jobs
|
I am in the midst of seeing hobbies transition to work with my oldest, who is now 16. They started stringing seed beads at 3 and slowly learned more complicated patterns until they began selling from a sandwich board at local markets at 7 (everyone wants to support a cute kid in pigtails!). Flash forward to now and they are an accomplished lapidary artist and wire worker with an extremely successful business-- they will be featured in an article in the biggest lapidary arts magazine I know of (okay, it's the *only* one I know of...) next month! I have no idea if this will be their eventual career path or a pretty amazing stepping stone, but none of it would have been possible if their interests were not taken seriously and supported along the way.
