<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1469893, member: 112&quot;]Every job has its upside and its downside. Those of a grader have been discussed. But what about the job of being a coin buyer ? You work for a company doing nothing but going out and finding coins to buy. At first glance many might think that would be a dream job. But to do that and be successful requires a great level of experience. First of all you have to be an excellent grader with just about all coins. Secondly you have to know the market. Both of those by themselves are huge requirements. Combined they are tremendous requirements. But let&#039;s say you can meet those requirements. You will be paid a ton of money !</p><p><br /></p><p>But is it really a dream job ? Think about what you have to do to do your job. First of all you will almost never be home. You will be on the road virtually the entire year. You will attend just about every coin show there is. And when there are no coin shows you will going to dealer&#039;s shops. You will live in hotels and eat in restaurants every day. You will always be rushing to catch this flight or that flight, fighting your way through airport security. You will be on your feet virtually all day long, every day, either looking for coins or going here or there. There will be no such thing as weekends and holidays. Your family, if you have one, won&#039;t know who you are.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is a rare person who will find that life to be a dream job.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now think of being a coin dealer. You do just about all of that and more, but for a lot less money in most cases.</p><p><br /></p><p>Or think of being a coin cataloger. You sit at desk every day pouring through books and auction records. You look at a lot of coins, but then you have to write about that coin and describe it in detail with words that are designed to attract buyers. Do that 10,000 times - and you&#039;re only through the first few months. </p><p><br /></p><p>And all of these jobs require a level of knowledge of experience that only a few even have. But then that is true of many jobs. And every job has its upsides, and downsides. Most of us just don&#039;t think about them when we dream <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
