Could be worse than a musician, you could be an accountant.

If you want someone to loose respect for you tell them you are a musician. Sometimes I forget that and have to remember to say I'm retired military. I can remember when it was the other way around.

BS .... all you have to tell them is that you are a writer, so everyone, this board included, can ignore me, from the moment I fart to the moment I say something.
 
It's worse with writers, because in this country there is no respect, care, or understanding for what the language is, and there are no "arts" ... and the only art they know is to slave away the life for another dollar ... and watch that other star collect yet another dollar from you! ... real democracy!
 
Have a noodle!

Never ... mom says ... go ahead, just let her count ... just be prepared to pay for it, because the IRS loves people that intentionally mis-count!
 
And the one entiry that will not go away with bankrupcy? Correct .... that one!

Went through that musician "judgment" thing for years, but I was a happy guy back then. Joined the corporate world and got respect for it, but wasn't a very happy guy. Left that to play poker professionally for the last 10 years. Been a very happy guy, but it's not something a majority of folks can relate to, so the judgement thing is always there.

I'm considering opening a small used car lot. Then I'll get some respect.

 I remember when you first told us this and I thought you were pulling my chain...more power to ya. I know nothing about it. Whatever is honest and puts the Benjamins on the table right ?...no disrespect in that.
